The present investigation on pharmacokinetics of the ceftiofur alone (following intramuscular administration) in six healthy Kankrej cow calves @ 4.4 mg/kg was conducted to explore the disposition and arrive at the clinically effective dosage regimens. The blood samples were collected at predetermined intervals following drug administration in cow calves and plasma was separated for quantification of ceftiofur by UHPLC with UV detector. The concentration vs time data were analyzed using PK 2.0 Solver software with non-compartment approach. Following IM administration of ceftiofur alone, the drug was detected for up to 24 h with last concentrations of 0.59 µg/ml, A peak ceftiofur (alone) concentration (Cmax) by intramuscular route was observed as 11.45 µg/ml at 45 min of drug administration. After administration of ceftiofur alone @ 4.4 mg/Kg intramuscularly in cow calves, the value of pharmacokinetic parameters was observed ast1/2? =6.92 h, AUC = 69.40?g.h/ml, AUMC = 622.03 µg.h2/ml, MRT = 8.90 h, Vd(area) = 0.66 L/kg and ClB = 0.06 L/h/kg
