Acute toxicity of brodifacoum to sheep

An Evaluation of the Acute Oral Toxicity of Brodifacoum to Birds

Single acute doses of the rodenticide brodifacoum were administered orally to 13 species of birds which are at risk from accidental poisoning during rabbit or possum control operations. Median lethal dose values from less than 1 to more than 20 mg/kg were obtained for some species. Gulls and Canada geese appear to be particularly susceptible. Several species, particularly the gulls, waxeyes, sp...

Acute Copper Toxicity in Garole Sheep - A Case Study

A case history of acute copper toxicity in a flock of Garole sheep has been presented. The animals which suffered from the toxicity were fed solely on leaves of mahogany plant for two days prior to the onset of the symptoms. The soil in the region of West Bengal is deficient in both zinc and molybdenum, which may have caused copper imbalance in the animals. Serum biochemical and postmortem find...

Translation of Methdology used in Human Myocardial Imaging to a Sheep Model of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Background: Pre-clinical investigation of stem cells for repairing damaged myocardium predominantly used rodents, however large animals have cardiac circulation closely resembling the human heart. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) could be used for assessing sheep myocardium following an acute myocardial infarction (MI) and response to int...
