Abstract
The concentration of quinoxaline‐2‐carboxylic acid (QCA) determined by HPLC after alkaline hydrolysis of liver and muscle of swine, ranged from <3 ng/g to 45.3 ng/g in liver, and from < 3 ng/g to 10.8 ng/g in muscle samples. After the 77th day of therapy QCA was found in samples of liver (9.7 ng/g). Recoveries obtained for both liver and muscle were 70% at 5 ng/g, 77% and 75% respectively at 10 ng/g, and 90% for both liver and muscle at 30 ng/g. This experiment was performed within the frame of the National Monitoring Programme of Residues in Animal Tissues in the Republic of Croatia.Keywords
