Abstract

The present proposal involves the study of the occurrence of some veterinary antibiotic compounds in animal manure, soil and water samples. Moreover, in order to better understand the fate of these molecules in higly weathered soils, soil column leaching tests will be conducted, according to the procedures established by OECD. The selection of the antibiotics to be monitored will be directly related to the intensity of use for therapeutic purposes in modern poultry and also their recognized potential to disseminate in the environemnt, what might adversely affect aquatic and terrestrial organisms. The research should therefore provide preliminary information about the occurrence for Brazilian conditions of residues of some priority antimicrobials and also provide data concerning the main process involved in the behavior of these molecules in the local environmental conditions
