The oral toxicity of brodifacoum to rabbits

Abstract

A series of trials was set up to investigate the acute and sub‐acute oral toxicity of brodifacoum to the European rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ). The acute, oral LD 50 was 0.20 mg kg −1 (95% confidence limits 0.15–0.28 mg kg −1 ). The 3‐ and 5‐day sub‐acute oral LD 50s were 0.22 mg kg −1 (0.15–0.31 mg kg −1 ) and 0.16 mg kg −1 (0.12–0.21 mg kg −1 ) respectively.
