[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the elimination regularity of ronidazole residues in chickens. [Method] Normal, healthy, 85-day-old Jinling broilers were selected as experimental chickens and fed with complete feed containing different concentrations of ronidazole. Ronidazole residues in chicken feather and edible tissues were detected by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （LC-MS/MS） method to compare the elimination regularity. [Result] Data analysis showed that the amount of ronidazole residues in chicken feather and edible tissues was positively correlated with the concentration of ronidazole administered. After drug withdrawal, there was a significant correlation between the elimination of ronidazole residues in chicken feather and edible tissues. Thus, the prediction model of ronidazole residues in chicken feather could be established. [Conclusion] This study could improve in vivo detection system of ronidazole residues and provide reference for monitoring and controlling drug residues in livestock and poultry oroduction.
