1-45857649 - The reporter, the product retailer, indicated that cows may have been exposed to seed treated with the active ingredients thiamethoxam, fludioxonil, difenoconazole, and sedaxane. On the day of initial contact with the registrant, the reporter indicated his customers four male cattle of unknown age, weight, and breed ate about fifteen bushel of the treated seed. All of the animals are experiencing diarrhea and malaise. The reporter was advised that the product was not a concern for toxicity for the animals, but the amount of seed ingested could cause abdominal discomfort and other gastrointestinal symptoms. The reporter was advised to seek veterinary attention for the animals as they were already symptomatic. On follow-up call four days later, the reporter indicated the animals symptoms lasted about four days. No additional information is available.
