DESIGN AND METHODS Feral pigs were administered iophenoxic acid by oral gavage, and consumption was assessed for different encapsulation methods in baits...
متن کاملSecondary and Tertiary Poisoning Risks Associated with Brodifacoum
The field use of brodifacoum baits (Talon® and Pestoff®) to control brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) has increased in recent years. This has raised concerns of secondary and tertiary poisoning, resulting from the transfer of this toxicant through the food chain. In New Zealand, feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are known to scavenge possum carcasses and may also gain access to bait stations cont...
متن کاملAssessment of the Environmental Impact Of Brodifacoum During Rodent Eradication Operations in New Zealand
Although Talon® baits containing brodifacoum have been used successfully in eradicating rats from some of New Zealand's offshore islands, little is known about any environmental effects of this toxin. Invertebrates, blackbirds, soil, and water at intervals of two days to nine months were sampled to determine whether brodifacoum residues were present after aerial distribution of Talon® 20P cerea...
