Abstract

Introduction: In the present study, a sensitive and selective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was described for the determination of ceftiofur (CEF) in cow milk and pharmaceutical preparations. CEF is an antibiotic compound, which is commonly used in the treatment of animal diseases such as respiratory system, soft tissue, and foot infections, as well as postpartum acute puerperal metritis. One of the critical features of CEF is its prescription while breastfeeding cows; in accordance, its quantitative estimation is essential to assess its residual amounts.
