Oxytetracycline (OTC) is widely used for the treatment of different infectious diseases in pig production. In intensive farming this antibiotic is administered incorporated to drinking water or feed. Interaction between OTC and feed components may affect dissolution and pharmacokinetic process. The aim of this study was to compare OTC bioavailability (BA) after its administration in feed or drinking water to weaning piglets.
