| dc.description.abstract | Liquid brodifacoum (0.005% concentration) was screened for the control of two gerbils, Meriones hurrianae and Tatera indica and two rats. Rattus meltada and Rattus rattus. It was observed that the ingestion of liquid brodifacoum dropped on the second day in case of all the rodent species as compared to the first day but the difference was not statistically significant. 80 to 90 per cent rodents died after a single day baiting but 100 per cent success was achieved only after two days, except in a case of T. indica in which mortality was 90 per cent; Cent per cent succumbed only after the third day of poison ingestion. Comparison of available data revealed that out of the three formulations of brodifacoum, wax blocks are the most acceptable and effective followed by liquid formulation. | en_US |
