Ion chromatograms of A – a blank sow’s milk sample; B – a milk sample fortified with tylosin (TYL) at 50 μg/L; C – a milk sample at the concentration of 883 μg/L obtained one day after tylosin injection. cps – counts per s; IS – internal standard

Validation parameters of the method for the analysis of tylosin in sow’s milk
| Analyte | Fortification level (μg/L) | Repeatability (%) | Reproducibility (%) | Recovery (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tylosin | 5.0 | 9.2 | 13.8 | 98.2 |
| 50.0 | 7.0 | 6.7 | 105.8 | |
| 100.0 | 4.7 | 4.1 | 100.6 |
