Residues of Sulphadimidine and its Metabolite N4-acetyl in Camel Milk
M. H. Al-Nazawi and A. M. Homeida

Abstract: Intravenous administration of sulphadimidine (SDM) at a dose of 50 mg kg-1 body weight as a single-dose or repeated-dose treatments to lactating camels resulted in residues of SDM and its metabolite N4-acetyl in milk. Milking twice daily resulted in depletion of SDM and N4-acetyl residue during a withdrawal period of 5 days after the last injection of the drug. Milk protein binding and concentration of metabolite was very low suggesting that monitoring of sulphonamide residues in milk could be limited to SDM alone.
