Abstract

Released veterinary antibiotics (VAs) in the agricultural environment can be transported due to various human activities and natural influences. Moreover, VAs are considered as emerging contaminants because of their potential to increase antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. In this study, the residual concentration and distribution of VAs were monitored in agricultural environmental samples. The concentrations of 11 antibiotics in four classes (penicillins, tetracyclines, macrolides, and sulfonamides) were measured in different sample matrixes (arable soil, sediment, surface water, manure-based compost, and liquid manure) using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Result showed that 8 out of 11 VAs were detected in the measured samples. Chlortetracycline was detected in all arable soil and sediment in the range of 3.02 - 203.36 µg kg-1. Penicillin G was detected in the range of 1.55 - 5.11 g kg-1 in only April soil samples due to short half-life in the environment. Sulfamethoxazole was dissipated in arable soil with time, which indicated that this compound could be transported to groundwater due to rainfall and exhibited high mobility in soil. This study provides information on the seasonal variation of VAs in agricultural environments and could be used as primary data for managing residual VAs in the environment.
