Popis: An analytical procedure for the determination of abamectin and/or doramectin in sheep faeces has been developed. Avermectins were extracted from sheep faeces with acetonitrile, clean-up using solid phase extraction (SPE) and analysed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection after derivatization with N-methylimidazole. The method has a low detection limit (1.0 ng/g of moist sheep faeces), low quantification limit (2.5 ng/g of moist sheep faeces), good recovery in the range 66.4–80.8% for abamectin and 67.7–85.5% for doramectin as well as good repeatability (>85%). The method is applicable to the study of the time profile of excretion in sheep faeces and also for ecotoxicological studies of both avermectins. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
