A method for determination of abamectin, doramectin and ivermectin residues in bovine liver was standardized and validated using acetonitrile extraction, clean-up with nd C18 cartridges, derivatization, detection and quantification by HPLC/FL. In the assays using spiked samples in levels varying from 5 to 100mg/kg the average recovery values ranged from 69.0 to 101.4% with coefficient of variation values between 5.5 and 28.1%. The limit of detection and quantification of this method, for each studied residue, was 5µg/kg.
