“…In addition, multifactorial causes including the oral bioavailability of the investigated drug and its physiochemical properties (molecular weight and solubility), the physiology of the chicken specimens as well as differences in the egg formation properties, organ perfusion characteristics, and tissue composition could also be likely reasons (Alaboudi, Basha, & Musallam, ; Bilandzic et al., ; Donoghue & Myers, ; Kan, ; Munoz et al., ). Roudaut and Moretain () stated that the differences in the sensitivities of the analytical methods used to detect drugs in egg matrices could also be a reason for the differences observed in their deposition patterns. Therefore, it is difficult to arrive at an overarching conclusion regarding the patterns of drug deposition and depletion in egg matrices, especially when one considers the differences in the metabolism, drug dose, and exposure time for laying hens.…”
