Popis: The administration of veterinary medicinal products containing tiamulin hydrogen fumarate (THF) leads to the appearance of the following residues in animal tissues: THF and metabolites that can be hydrolyzed to 8-α-hydroxymutilin. The marker residue for tiamulin, according to Regulation EEC 2377/90, is the sum of the metabolites that can be hydrolyzed to 8-α-hydroxymutilin. The main aim of this study was to analyze the depletion of tiamulin residues and metabolites that can be hydrolyzed to 8-α-hydroxymulinin by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in pig, rabbit and bird tissues after tiamulin administration and to determine minimum withdrawal times for products of animal origin intended for human consumption. Tiamulin was administered orally as follows: 12,000 µg/kg body weight/day for 7 days to pigs and rabbits and 20,000 µg tiamulin/kg body weight/day for 7 days to broiler chickens and turkeys. The values found for tiamulin marker residues were 3 times higher in liver than in muscle in pigs, 6 times in rabbits and 8–10 times in birds. The content of tiamulin residues in eggs from laying hens was below 1000 µg/kg at all times of analysis. The minimum withdrawal times for animal products intended for human consumption, resulting from this study, are 5 days for pigs, rabbits and turkeys, 3 days for broiler chickens and 0 days for eggs.
