Toxicity of Reldan (Chlorpyrifos-methyl) in Nubian goats

Vet Hum Toxicol. 1989 Feb;31(1):60-3.

Abstract

Eight Nubian goats were given single oral doses of 1200, 600, 300 or 150 mg/kg of Reldan. The 2 goats receiving the highest dose died after 1 and 16 hr whereas other animals survived the 7-day observation period. Twelve Nubian goats were given Reldan orally at daily dosages of 600, 300, 150 or 75 mg/kg. The goats died or were killed in extremis between 2 and 25 days. Pathology, clinical chemistry and hematology findings are reported.
