Key points

Antimicrobial drugs are frequently used in a combination or shuttle way to cope with coinfection of bacteria or parasites and prevent drug resistance, thus the accurate quantification of multiple drug residues in animal-derived foods is crucial to ensure food safety
Here, a simple and efficient high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array (HPLC-PDA) method was established for the simultaneous quantitative screening of six common residues of antiparasitic drugs, including abamectin (ABM), ivermectin (IVM), albendazole (ABZ) and the three metabolites of ABZ in beef and chicken
The LODs and LOQs for six target compounds in beef and chicken are determined to be 3.2 to 12.5 µg/kg and 9.0 to 30.0 µg/kg, respectively
The calibration curves show good linearity (R 2 ≥ 0.9990) between the peak area and concentration
The recoveries from the fortified blank samples are all above 85.10%
Finally, the applicability of the HPLC-PDA method is successfully demonstrated by the real sample analysis
