(p.ex. description des symptômes tels que la fréquence et la gravité
1-35693598 - The reporter, a farmer, indicated that his cattle were exposed to an herbicide containing the active ingredient Paraquat. The reporter stated that the product was applied by aerial application to a neighbors soybean field as a harvest aid approximately one month prior to initial contact with the registrant. The reporter indicated that on October 10th his cattle were fine but the following morning he found one dead bull and one dead calf and then later that same day he found another dead adult cow and another dead calf. None of the dead cattle showed any unusual symptoms and all other cattle in the herd were asymptomatic. On October 10th, the reporter noted that his pasture looked as though it had been directly treated with an herbicide. He spoke with his neighbor who indicated that he had been treating his soybeans with the product. Based on the damage to the plants the reporter suspected direct application of the product to his field rather than drift exposure. The reporter brought in a veterinarian to look at the dead animals and per the reporter the veterinarian indicated that he thought the death may have been from the herbicide. The reporter did not indicate if the veterinarian did any testing or a necropsy on the animals. The reporter was advised that the described symptoms are not consistent with exposure to the product. Based on the application rate for soybean harvest aid, and toxicity studies conducted on the formulation, a 1000 pound animal would have to consume approximately a whole acre of spray all at one time, for it to be lethal. No further information is available.
