“…Death from large doses usually occurs between 3 and 5 h [31]. The results of the present study also corroborate these earlier [33], T. indica, and M. hurrianae [34]. The results of the present study corroborate these earlier results.…”

Both sexes of rodent pests such as Bandicota bengalensis, Millardia meltada, Mus booduga, and Rattus rattus were subjected to toxicity tests (acute rodenticide: 1.5% and 2% zinc phosphide and chronic rodenticide: bromadiolone (0.005%), under no-choice and choice tests) by using their preferred germinated cereals, namely, paddy, pearl millet, and finger millet, as bait base, individually. The results indicated that the poison baits in the germinated cereals induced all the chosen four species of rodent pests to consume greater quantities of bait perhaps due to the bait carrier's palatability and texture. Besides these, the chosen three germinated cereals proved themselves that they are also capable of acting as suitable bait base for both selected rodenticides in bringing maximum mortality among the tested rodent pests under both no-choice and choice tests. Therefore, these germinated cereals may be recommended as a bait carrier for both zinc phosphide (2%) and bromadiolone (0.005%) poisons for the control of all these four species of rodent pests under field conditions. However, this requires field based trials with rodenticides for making a final recommendation.

“…To achieve cent per cent mortality with warfarin and fumarin at 0-025% level (the recommended concentration) the black rats had to feed for a continuous period of 10 and 12 days, respectively (Bhat and Sujatha, 1986). The LDso value of brodifacoum for R. rattus was around 0-7 mg/kg body weight (Mathur and Prakash, 1981). This dose would be contained in about 14-0 g of 0-005% brodifacoum bait.…”

Brodifacoum, a second generation single dose anticoagulant, was evaluated against the black rat, Rattus rattus wroughtoni Hinton, a major rodent pest of cocoa in South India. Laboratory feeding trials using brodifacoum (0-005%) wax blocks showed cent per cent mortality in these rats by 1 day feeding. The active ingredient consumed varied from 0-35 mg to 9-17mg/kg body weight (mean 3-71 ± 0-53 mg/kg). The mortality occurred from the third day to the tenth day of feeding with a maximum on the fifth day in females and on the sixth day in males. One, two and three baitings with brodifacoum baits at intervals of 10 days between baitings reduced the rat population by 76%, 95% and 97%, respectively in cocoa gardens. Moreover, cent per cent reduction in the damage was achieved by two baitings itself.

“…[ 22 ], and that of brodifacoum is 0.35 mg/kg b.w. [ 23 ]. To convert these to human LD50 levels, the average U.S. adult was found to be 80.5 kg [ 24 ] and average daily per capita U.S. consumption of cheese was determined to be 38.52 g [ 1 ], which amounts to about one or two slices of cheese per day.…”

In this study, we investigated the impact of the rodenticides (strychnine, bromadiolone, and brodifacoum) on milk pH, rennet coagulation time (RCT), and coagulum strength. Sub-lethal amounts of strychnine and bromadiolone produced an unnaturally large change in milk pH, compared to brodifacoum and brodifacoum on milk coagulation properties. All three studied rodenticides significantly affected RCT and coagulum strength. The presence of sub-lethal amounts of each individual rodenticide increased RCT by an overall mean of 17% (p < 0.001). Rodenticide contamination decreased coagulum strength by an overall mean of 26% (p < 0.05). Our results suggest that such changes could be noticeable at the farm, thus, potentially averting the mixture of contaminated milk with the tanker supply, and preventing downstream distribution to consumers.
