ORAL TOXICITY OF p-AMINOPROPIOPHENONE TO BRUSHTAIL POSSUMS (TRICHOSURUS VULPECULA), DAMA WALLABIES (MACROPUS EUGENII), AND MALLARDS (ANAS PLATYRHYNCHOS)

摘要: Development of p-aminopropiophenone (PAPP) as a toxicant for pest predator management in New Zealand and Australia prompted investigation its toxicity to potential nontarget species. Acute oral PAPP brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula), dama wallabies (Macropus eugenii), Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) was estimated pen trials, carried out between February 2000 September 2001. The susceptibility (LD50≥500 mg kg−1) (LD50 89 low comparison noncarnivorous placental mammal species, but ducks 38 were more susceptible than other bird These results suggest that the hazard from bait applied control would be low. However, future development vertebrate agent should include rigorous assessments posed by formulations species provision delivery techniques could mitigate exposure nontarge...
