Degradation Kinetics and Mechanism of Antibiotic Ceftiofur in Recycled Water Derived from a Beef Farm

ISTC’s senior research scientist Wei Zheng collaborated with researchers from the Illinois State Water Survey, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the University of Illinois to determine the degradation kinetics of ceftiofur in liquid manure. Results were published in Xiaolin Li, Wei Zheng, Michael L. Machesky, Scott R. Yates, and Michael Katterhenry (2011). Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 59(18), 10176-10181.
