Abstract

The allowable tolerance for a drug is based on edible tissue, yet a majority of livestock shows use urine samples to test for the presence of performance enhancing drugs. Currently, there is limited data on the relationship between urine and plasma or target tissue concentrations used for withdrawal time calculations in food animal species. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare plasma and urine concentrations in goats administered 1 of 2 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, flunixin meglumine and meloxicam, in order to determine withdrawal intervals for animals where urine is routinely tested at livestock shows.
