“…The pharmacokinetics of doxycycline have been fully documented in humans (Schach von Wittenau and Chiaini, 1968;Raghuram and Krishnaswamy, 1982;Riond and Riviere, 1988) and, to a lesser extent, in veterinary species, such as dogs (Wilson et al, 1988;, cats , pigs Baert et al, 2000), horses (Davis et al, 2006), and poultry (Anadó n et al, 1994;Santos et al, 1996;Laczay et al, 2001). Limited information is available on the pharmacokinetics of doxycycline in ruminant species, where it has been studied in calves in mature and immature ruminal function (Riond et al, 1989;Meijer et al, 1993) and in goats (Jha et al, 1989;Abd El-Aty et al, 2004), but to date no studies have been conducted in sheep.…”
