  1. FS, florfenicol solution; i.v., intravenous; FSRGs, florfenicol sustained-release granules; AUC, the area under the concentration-time curve; Kel, elimination rate constant; T1/2β, the elimination half-life; MRT, mean residence time; Cmax, maximal drug concentration; Cl, body clearance rate; Vd, apparent volume of distribution; F, absolute bioavailability; Tmax, time to reach maximal drug concentration
  2. *Statistical significances compared with FSRGs-fasted condition are p < 0.05;
