, refers to degree of significance.

: first-order absorption rate constant; : elimination rate constant; : absorption half-life; : elimination half-life; : maximum plasma concentration; : time to peak plasma concentration; MAT: mean absorption time; F: fraction of drug absorbed systemically after PO administration; /MIC: maximum serum concentration/minimum inhibitory concentration ratio; AUC/MIC: area under concentration-time curve/MIC ratio.

AUMC value in healthy ducks is 73.46 μg mL⁻¹ h⁻² instead of 37.46 μg mL⁻¹ h⁻².

MAT value in healthy ducks is 0.74 h instead of 0.31 h and MAT value in renal damaged ducks is 0.70 h instead of 2.08 h, with no significance in MAT between healthy and renal damaged ducks.

In Page 4, last line in left column, low MAT (mean absorption time) value is 0.74 h instead of 0.31 h.
