Abstract
A method was developed to determine the presence of dibutyltin dilaurate, commonly known as butynorate, a coccidiostat and anthelmintic used in poultry. The method was used to support a 2-year statistically based random survey from January 1988 through January 1990 to determine the incidence of dibutyltin residues in young turkeys in the United States. Described are the performance characteristics of the high-pressure liquid chromatography method using postcolumn morin fluorescent derivative. The 2-year survey program was based on samples collected in 25 states having sufficient turkey production, and the subsequent findings showed an 8% positive rate with 90% of the positives from 5 states.
