“…Its usage may result in residues in food products of animal origin, often due to the improper observance of withdrawal periods. For this reason, OTC is often determined in those foods; for example, some authors found this antibiotic in honey (Salinas, Berzas, & Espinosa, 1989;Xie, Dong, Fen, & Liu, 1997), in milk (Boatto, Pau, Palomba, Arenare, & Cerri, 1999;Carson & Breslyn, 1996;Carson, Ngoh, & Hadley, 1998;Furusawa, 1999a;Pena, Lino, & Silveira, 1999;Tjørnelund & Hansen, 1997), in eggs (Coopper et al, 1998;Croubels, Vanoosthuyze, & Van Peteghem, 1997;Furusawa, 1999bFurusawa, , 1999cOmija, Mitema, & Maitho, 1994), and in different animal tissues (Carson et al, 1998;Coopper et al, 1998;Croubels et al, 1997;De Wasch et al, 1998;Farrington et al, 1991;McCracken et al, 1995; Pouliquen et al, 1992;Sokol & Matisova, 1994;Stubbings et al, 1996;Walsh, Walker, & Webber, 1992). OTC has been measured too in other matrices different from food, like plasma (Iwaki, Okumura, & Yamazaki, 1993), urine (Sharma, Koritz, Perkins, & Bevill, 1977;Weimann & Bojesen, 1999;Xie et al, 1997), feeds (Fernández-González, García-Falcó n, & Simal-Gándara, 2002;Hasselberger, 1993;Houglum, Larson, Mutchler, & Wetzler, 1998;Markakis, 1996;Martínez & Shimoda, 1988;Weng, Sun, Roets, & Hoogmartens, 2003)...…”
