Comparison of Low Dietary Calcium and Sodium Sulfate for the Potentiation of Tetracycline Antibiotics in Broiler Diets

Abstract: Three experiments were conducted to compare different methods of short-term potentiation of tetracycline antibiotics for broiler chicks. Reduction of dietary calcium and addition to sodium sulfate were compared in different combinations with various levels of chlortetracycline (CTC) and oxytetracycline (OTC). Reducing dietary calcium from 0.8 to 0.4% significantly increased serum levels of CTC and OTC. Adding sodium sulfate (1.25%) also increased serum levels; the majority of the response occurred at the highe… Show more

“…Ion concentrations are higher in feed than in water, therefore, the absorption of OTC from the GIT is likely more inhibited when administrated with feed than with water. This was also observed by other researchers (Price et al 1959, Waldroup et al 1981, Wanner et al 1991.…”

“…Potentiation of tetracycline in poultry feeds is commonly achieved by reducing calcium concentration in the feed to prevent chelation of tetracycline and improve drug absorption (Price, Zolli, Atkinson, Collins, & Luther, ; Sebree & Roberts, ; Waldroup et al., ). Tetracycline's are often used in poultry starter diets, therefore reducing the concentration of calcium in diets should only be used for short periods since calcium is essential for growth (Waldroup et al., ). Please refer to Table for further information on tetracycline drug residue studies.…”
