Full textAbstract:
The palatability and efficacy of 2.5% zinc phosphide (ZP) wheat bait that had been in dry storage for about 3.5 years was tested against house mice in canola crops in the central wheatbelt region of Western Australia. Before baiting, mouse numbers in these crops were around 90 mice ha-1. Mouse numbers were reduced by 89% in the crop where the stored bait was applied at 1 kg ha-1 by aerial broadcast. The palatability of the stored bait was also determined in additional crops by comparing the amount taken with that of `fresh' ZP wheat bait. Bait (200 g) was offered in two different types of bait station: (1) in 45-cm lengths of 50-mm-diameter plastic agricultural drainage pipe, and (2) on 40-cm-diameter plastic saucers. Regardless of station type, mice often consumed significantly more of the stored product than the `fresh' bait, particularly on Day 1. This was attributed to the stored product lacking the typical, strong ZP odour that was initially present in the fresh bait. Mouse numbers on the bait station grids (1.28 ha each) were reduced by approximately 65% after 4 days of baiting. The shelf-life and palatability of ZP wheat bait seem to be relatively unaffected by prolonged storage. If any decrease in palatability occurs, then this seems to be transient and did not reduce the overall effectiveness of the stored bait.

Full textAbstract:
Context Bait palatability is a key issue influencing the uptake of toxic baits or non-toxic bait markers. Animals often reject baits with high concentrations of the active compound (whether it is a toxin, vaccine or marker) because of poor palatability, thus reducing the efficacy of baiting. Foraging theory predicts that palatability will be affected not only by the taste of active ingredients in bait but also by an animal’s ability to access alternative foods. Yet few studies of bait palatability are measured in the context of an animal’s need to search and forage for other food types. Aims The present study examined whether the palatability of Rhodamine B (RB) baits for black rats (Rattus rattus) was affected when foraging constraints were placed on access to alternative food compared with when alternative food was freely accessible. Rhodamine B is a bait marker and was used as a surrogate for other active ingredients likely to be used in pest control management. Methods Each day, RB bait at one of four concentrations was provided to an individual rat along with an alternative food that was either freely available (spatially clumped with foraging constraints absent) or hidden within a matrix of tubes (spatially scattered, thus with foraging constraints present). Key results Black rats exhibited a gradient in how palatable they found RB and preferred baits that contained the lowest concentrations of RB. Importantly, RB baits were more palatable when access to alternative food was made more difficult by applying a foraging constraint. In particular, a 0.2% RB concentration appeared to represent a threshold in palatability where intake at or above this concentration was significantly affected by a rat’s ability to freely access alternative foods. The ingestion of RB dye (mg kg–1) was highest in rats that consumed the highest concentrations, even though food intake was reduced. Conclusions The consumption of baits at high RB concentrations was greatly affected by the ease of access to other foods. We suggest the willingness of the animal to consume the bait can be influenced by the effort needed to find alternative foods. Implications A higher incidence of marking in the whiskers or hair of target individuals in the field will only be achieved with the use of the most palatable concentrations of RB and environments providing low alternative food access and abundance. A trade-off between reliable marking and palatability of RB at varying concentrations must be achieved if actual bait uptake in the field is to be more accurately represented. A re-evaluation of palatability experiments may be required as access to alternative foods can have profound impacts on bait uptake.

Full textAbstract:
We examined the acceptance and palatability of baits containing different contents of sodium selenite as a rodenticide, in Swiss mice under laboratory conditions. In a no-choice and choice feeding test, the animals were exposed to baits containing 0.1, 0.05, 0.025 and 0.0125% of sodium selenite. The total bait consumption by Swiss mice in the no-choice feeding test was highly negatively correlated, while total sodium selenite intake was medium-positively correlated to the sodium selenite content in the bait. In the same test, daily intakes significantly depended on the content of sodium selenite in the bait, while the exposure and associated interactions of contents of sodium selenite and exposure had no statistically significant impact. Baits with sodium selenite contents of 0.05 and 0.1% had the most lethal effects. The negative impact of the sodium selenite content on bait acceptance and palatability was confirmed in choice feeding tests. Baits containing 0.05 and 0.1% of sodium selenite displayed the biological potential to be used as a rodenticide. It is necessary to improve its insufficient acceptability and palatability by adding adequate additives to the bait. The results of this study should be verified in experiments with wild rodents.

Full textAbstract:
In a free-choice experiment conducted in a series of pen trials, the influence of food preference on caching behaviour by the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) was investigated for three unpoisoned bait types: deep-fried beef liver (DFL), dried deep-fried beef liver (DDFL) and a commercial bait (Foxoff®). Although some variation in individual preferences for the DDFL and Foxoff was observed, all of the foxes in the pen trials preferred the DFL (P < 0.01) and all cached it least often (P < 0.01). Field trials then compared the uptake, consumption and incidence of caching for the most preferred (DFL) and least preferred (Foxoff) bait types. Radio-transmitters were inserted into unpoisoned Foxoff and DFL baits and a free choice of either was provided at bait stations at three independent sites. A clock module recorded the precise time that each bait was taken from the bait station. The fate of each bait (it could either be eaten, cached or remain in situ) was recorded daily and baits were replaced for five consecutive nights. There was no difference in the rate of uptake for the two baits (P > 0.05) and, despite some variation between the sites, DFL was the most often eaten (P < 0.001) and Foxoff the most often cached (P < 0.001). These data strongly suggest that a highly palatable bait will increase the likelihood of rapid consumption of baits and reduce the incidence of caching. This is likely to increase the cost-effectiveness of baiting and limit the potential for nontarget impacts due to the movement of baits. The high degree of concordance between the results of the pen and field trials suggests that pen trials can assist in the development of more effective bait types. However, conclusions about the relative efficacy of bait types drawn from the results of baiting programs that measure only bait uptake are unlikely to be reliable.

Full textAbstract:
The attractiveness of two vertebrate pest-control baits (non-toxic RS5 and Pindone-impregnated AgTech) to captive skinks (Oligosoma maccanni) was assessed with timelapse video and feeding trials in New Zealand. 0. maccanni were attracted to both bait types. When dry, pindone baits were more palatable than RS5 baits. However, when wet the palatability of both baits increased and was similar. Bait size had no significant effect on palatability. Lizards ate an average of 0.01 g of RS5 bait or 0.02 g of Agtech Pindone bait, over two days. On the basis of published susceptibility data, it is unlikely that this level of consumption would expose skinks to lethal doses of these vertebrate pest toxins. Potential sublethal effects of such doses require further study.

Full textAbstract:
As part of assessments of the palatability of different formulations for baits to be used for the control of feral goats, iopanoic acid and iophenoxic acid were compared as bait markers. After goats ingested iopanoic acid (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg), peak plasma iodine concentrations (4.86, 17.25 and 19.11 micro g/ml respectively) were reached after 4 to 8 h, followed by rapid excretion. In contrast, iophenoxic acid (1.5 mg/kg) was more slowly absorbed but remained stable in the plasma at concentrations greater than 2.40 micro g/ml for 3months after ingestion. When goats were fed 10 marked leaves smeared with non-toxic petrolatum containing a total of 50 mg iophenoxic acid, plasma iodine concentrations were proportionally and significantly higher than in animals fed on marked leaf smeared with non-toxic petrolatum (total of 5 mg iophenoxic acid), indicating a potential for quantifying the amount of bait ingested. Iophenoxic acid, therefore, shows the greatest potential as a bait marker for goats, particularly for quantitative use in palatability and acceptance studies.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of our study was to investigate the possibility of application of essential oils as additives in cereal-based rodenticide baits, at rates which prevent mould development and are applicable in humane medicine. Also, the purpose of these oils would be to extend the utility value of baits and reduce the use of antifungal ingredients that usually affect bait acceptance. The effects of essential oils of ten different plant species, applied at rates of one and two ml per kg of plain bait, on bait acceptance and palatability in choice feeding tests for Swiss mice were studied under controlled laboratory conditions. Baits were prepared according to relevant EPPO standards (2004). The effects of essential oils on bait acceptance and palatability for Swiss mice were determined in choice feeding tests using a formula by Johnson and Prescott (1994). There was no significant statistical difference in effects between groups and sexes regarding weight change in the experiment. During the experiment and recovery period, neither change in mice behavior no deaths were observed. Cinnamon and anise essential oils, commonly used as attractants, and clove oil, were most effective because they had no negative effect on bait acceptance and palatability, while fenchel and bergamot oils showed repellent activity that grew as the oil content in baits increased.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryRat Rattus spp. predation is widely recognised as a major threat to insular seabird populations. Rodent eradication programmes have advanced over the last two decades with purported benefits to ecosystems and seabird conservation. However, the danger of non-target poisoning to seabirds has rarely been examined, despite hundreds of insular eradication efforts. We initiated research to assess the risk of rodenticide bait to nesting Sooty Terns Sterna fuscata on Wake Atoll Complex. Placebo bait with a fluorescing dye was used in a control treatment design to track exposure and ingestion. Camera-based observations and faecal samples, post-mortem inspections and live chick observations suggested that bait exposure and consumption occurred, but that it was infrequent. Results indicated that poison bait eradication should occur outside the chick rearing phase to minimise risks to nesting seabirds. Our study also documents previously unreported environmental fluorescence, which may increase false positive results in pre-eradication assessments of bait palatability, bait uptake rates, and bait application methods that use inactive fluorescing test baits. We recommend that future conservation efforts begin with an evaluation of environmentally-based fluorescence before formal biomarker studies.

Full textAbstract:
Context Introduced house mice (Mus musculus) are a serious predator of seabird chicks at Gough Island, resulting in declining populations of several threatened species. This has prompted the preparation of plans to eradicate mice from Gough and other islands. However, relatively little is known about the palatability and efficacy of rodent baits for house mice, as most studies have focussed on rats (Rattus spp.). Aims The study’s aim was to test the palatability of non-toxic forms of two commercially available rodent pellet bait formulations (Pestoff® 20R and Final®) and a new pellet bait formulated specifically for mouse control (Pestoff® 20M) to house mice on Gough Island. We also tested the efficacy of toxic Pestoff 20R and Final pellets containing 20 and 25 ppm of the anticoagulant toxin brodifacoum. Methods Five trials with 50 mice housed in individual cages and kept at ambient temperature and light cycles, were undertaken during the year. Palatability of bait pellets was measured over five days and compared with a non-toxic control food (standard ‘rodent pellets’ sourced from a pet food supplier). Toxic bait trials were run for 25 days with bait administered at 1, 2 and 10 g for a 24-h period and at 20 g per day for 72 h. Key results All three baits were highly palatable; however, mice showed the greatest preference for Pestoff 20M and 20R, consuming a larger mass of bait. Estimated oral LD50 values of brodifacoum for Gough mice were 0.44 mg kg–1 and the average time to death following exposure was 5.5 days (range 0–16 days). Two mice (~1% of those tested) survived after apparently ingesting doses of brodifacoum estimated to be 5 and 10 times the oral LD50 values, potentially indicating a lower susceptibility to brodifacoum in some individuals, although subsequent exposure at higher doses resulted in mortality. Conclusions The results of this study confirmed that house mice on Gough Island find bait pellets highly palatable and that brodifacoum is an effective toxin with LD50 values and time to death within the same range (0.4 to 0.52 mg kg–1 and 5.2 days) as other studies, indicating no major difference in the susceptibility of Gough mice to this poison. Implications We recommend that bait manufacturers produce formulations designed to be attractive to mice and consider the use of higher concentrations of brodifacoum to increase the likelihood of all mice obtaining a toxic dose when small quantities of bait are consumed, although higher toxin concentrations must be balanced against the increased risks to non-target species. Eradication operations targeting mice should undertake more than one bait drop to ensure any individuals surviving the initial drop have access to sufficient toxic bait to cause mortality upon second or subsequent exposure.

Laboratory and field study were conducted to evaluate the effects of some bait additives namely molasses, sugar, dry fish and powder milk mixed with wheat flour to increase the acceptability of additives mixed bait and the efficiency of poison bait. The findings showed that the additives mixed plain bait led to an increase the palatability and consumption rate. The most accepted plain bait for rodent was the bait combination molasses + wheat flour followed by sugar + wheat flour. The highest mortality was observed from the bait in the treatment combination powder milk + dry fish + wheat flour +Zn3P2 (90%) followed by (powder milk + molasses + dry fish + wheat flour + Zn3P2) (80%) in laboratory. The average zinc phosphide bait consumption was highest in the treatment dry fish + wheat flour +Zn3P2 (1.56 g/rat/day) followed by molasses + dry fish + powder milk + wheat flour + Zn3P2 (0.80 g/rat/day). All these additives mixed with zinc phosphide increase the consumption rate and the efficacy of bait. In field trial the higher population reduction (76-86%) was achieved from the bait dry fish + wheat flour + Zn3P2 followed by dry fish + powder milk + wheat flour + Zn3P2 (76-80%) and the lowest in powder milk + wheat flour + Zn3P2 (30%). All these additives mixed with zinc phosphide increased the consumption rate and the efficacy of poison bait.Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 41(3): 471-480, September 2016

Abstract Speed of action was determined for a bait containing 0.5% chlorpyrifos against both a susceptible (JWax-S) and insecticide-resistant (Muncie’86) strain of German cockroaches. Thirty insects were used in the test, 10 each of the following age/sex classifications: 1) adult males; 2) virgin females; and 3) 4th instar nymphs; all insects were newly eclosed (<48 h of eclosion). Cockroaches were housed in 30 × 24 × 10 cm plastic boxes supplied with harborage (positioned in center of arena), 2 water vials (positioned along walls of arena), and 4 food dispensers (2 × 2-cm weigh boats positioned in the corners). Arenas were made escape-proof by use of ventilated, friction-fitted lids and an impassable barrier of petrolatum and mineral oil (1:2) on the arena walls. Two bait placement schemes were used: 1) no-choice, where the bait (3.5 g) was divided between opposing corners of the arena; and 2) choice, wherein supplemental food sources (3.5 g of Wayne® rodent blox and grape jelly) were placed in the alternate corners of the arena. Each treatment was replicated 3X using a completely randomized design. Insects were released into the arenas and, after a 24-h acclimation period, toxic bait and food sources were introduced to the arenas in a random order. Mortality was analyzed with ANOVA models to characterize the significance of the differing baiting schemes (choice vs. no-choice) and insect strains (susceptible vs. resistant). Speed of kill (LT50 and LT,5) was determined by probit analysis of cumulative mortality and a ratio test estimated the relative palatability (PR) of the bait for each strain, as inferred from differential LT50 and LT95 between choice and no-choice bioassays.

Full textAbstract:
Both sexes of rodent pests such as Bandicota bengalensis, Millardia meltada, Mus booduga, and Rattus rattus were subjected to toxicity tests (acute rodenticide: 1.5% and 2% zinc phosphide and chronic rodenticide: bromadiolone (0.005%), under no-choice and choice tests) by using their preferred germinated cereals, namely, paddy, pearl millet, and finger millet, as bait base, individually. The results indicated that the poison baits in the germinated cereals induced all the chosen four species of rodent pests to consume greater quantities of bait perhaps due to the bait carrier’s palatability and texture. Besides these, the chosen three germinated cereals proved themselves that they are also capable of acting as suitable bait base for both selected rodenticides in bringing maximum mortality among the tested rodent pests under both no-choice and choice tests. Therefore, these germinated cereals may be recommended as a bait carrier for both zinc phosphide (2%) and bromadiolone (0.005%) poisons for the control of all these four species of rodent pests under field conditions. However, this requires field based trials with rodenticides for making a final recommendation.

Full textAbstract:
Alternatives to sodium monofluoroacetate (1080) and pindone are required for control of wild rabbits. The palatability and toxicity of cereal baits containing either cholecalciferol or gliftor were assessed on captive domestic rabbits. Although rabbits showed considerable variation in their individual response to cholecalciferol, they were very susceptible to the toxicant (LD50 = 4.4 mg kg–1) and it would be lethal to almost all rabbits ingesting doses greater than 15 mg kg–1. However, concentrations of 0.04% and 0.18% cholecalciferol in bait were not readily eaten by rabbits, suggesting that further research is required to mask the taste and/or smell of the toxicant. The LD50 of gliftor in cereal bait to rabbits was 2.2 mg kg–1. Rabbits showed no measurable aversion to baits that contained 0.2% w/w gliftor. A lower concentration of 0.1% gliftor in bait should be tested on wild populations of rabbits.

Full textAbstract:
Factory-prepared beef crackle cubes and fresh meat baits are routinely used with the poison 1080 to prevent or reduce predation by wild dogs, Canis familiaris. Four field trials totalling 674 bait nights per bait type were conducted in southern Queensland to assess the relative attractiveness and palatability of the two baits to wild dogs and non-target animals. Buried meat and surface-laid meat baits were also compared to assess the effect that bait presentation can have on control programme efficiency and non-target hazard. Fresh meat was found to be significantly more palatable to wild dogs than factory baits. Factory baits, despite being equally attractive to wild dogs as fresh meat, had significantly more visits by wild dogs where baits were not eaten. Fresh meat was significantly more attractive and palatable to non-target species than factory baits. Buried baits were equally attractive and palatable to wild dogs compared with surface-laid meat baits, yet had greatly reduced non-target bait take. The significance of the results is discussed with regard to the potential 1080 hazard to birds and reptiles (which removed 28% and 10% of baits, respectively) and the influence that non-target removal of baits may have on the efficiency and design of wild-dog control programmes.

Palatability (daily intake) of different rodenticide formulations based on bromadiolone was compared in experiments with house mouse (Mus musculus L.) in agricultural storage facilities, and rodent numbers were assessed at the beginning and end of experiment, as well as rodenticide efficacy. The dynamic of bait intake was monitored for ten days in facilities of the Institute of Animal Husbandry in Zemun and the Agricultural Cooperatives at Starcevo and Omoljica. The experiments complied with the relevant standard method of OEPP/EPPO. Agricultural products were stored either as bulk commodities or in sacs laid on pallete racks in the treated facilities. Baits were laid in boxes on mice routes below palletes holding sacs and on places where significant damage had been observed, at 1-3 m spacing and in 10-20 g portions. Mouse abundance was estimated based on the highest and lowest daily intakes of bait by mice over a period of 10 days, which was divided by the mouse daily feed requirement. The presence of house mouse was also monitored over the next 20 days. The efficacy of test products was computed using Abbott's formula.

Full textAbstract:
Feral goats have been controlled in New Zealand by treating leaves of favoured food plants with the poison sodium monofluoroacetate (compound 1080) in a suitable carrier, either carbopol gel or petrolatum grease. The effect of these 2 carriers on the most suitable plant species (mahoe), their retention of 1080, their comparative palatability to goats, and the acceptance of the least palatable, petrolatum, were studied in a series of trials. Both carriers caused baited leaves to absciss, and the rate of abscission increased when 1080 was included. Toxic petrolatum was 3 times less phytotoxic than carbopol and retained 1080 for much longer (carbopol lost most of its toxin after 200 mm of rain). Abscissed petrolatum-treated leaves retained much of their toxicity for at least a year. Goats detected and, to some extent, rejected leaves of all treatments, either by not eating them or by spitting them out (particularly petrolatum-treated leaves). However, use of iophenoxic acid as a bait marker indicated that even petrolatum-treated leaves were consumed by 24 of 30 goats tested. Carbopol with 1080 is recommended for use where its distribution is sufficient to place all goats at immediate risk. Petrolatum is not recommended for general use, although it can be used in areas where a long-life bait is needed.

Apart from some preventive measures advisably taken during construction of storage facilities or at the time of product storage, treatments with chemical rodenticides are the most widely practiced method of controlling commensal rodents. Their control in storage facilities is normally carried out after animal presence has been observed, and treatments from early autumn onwards throughout the season provide the best effect. The aim of this paper is to present the effects of rodent control using baits with less content am chlorofacinon than recommended, to the protection of stored plant products. The experiments were set up using the relevant OEPP/EPPO method. A ready for use (RB) paste bait formulation was used with different contents (0.005% and 0.0075%) of the active ingredient chlorophacinone. Baits were laid in boxes along rodent routes, underneath pallets with sacs and in places where major damage had been observed. Baits for house mouse were placed at a rate of 10-20 g per 1-3 m, while 30-50 g of bait for brown rats were laid at specific points. Daily bait intake was monitored over a period of ten days and the portions were replaced with new ones as needed. Placebo baits were laid in identical boxes for four days before the experiment began. The abundance of house mouse was estimated based on the highest and lowest daily intake of bait divided by the species? daily requirement. Mice presence was monitored over the next 20 days. Rodenticide efficacy was calculated using Abbott?s formula. The data in this experiment show that chorophacinone contents of 0.005% and 0.0075% in RB baits had no effect on the palatability and bait efficacy in controlling house mouse and brown rat indoors. The average efficacy of chorophacinone was 87-93% against house mouse and 90-100% against brown rat.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Speed of action was determined for Siege and Maxforce baits (2.0 and 2.15% hydramethylnon, respectively) against the JWax susceptible strain of the German cockroach. Forty insects were used in the test, 10 each of the following age/sex classifications: 1) adult males; 2) newly mated females; 3) 4th instar nymphs; and 4) 2nd instar nymphs; all insects were newly eclosed (<48 h of eclosion). Cockroaches were housed in 30 X 24 X 10 cm plastic boxes supplied with two water vials (positioned along walls of arena) and two food dispensers (2X2 cm weigh boats positioned in the corners). Arenas were made escape-proof by use of ventilated, friction-fitted lids and an impassable barrier of petrolatum and mineral oil (1:3) on the arena walls. Baits were applied in ca. 50 mg portions within a specially constructed crack and crevice device. These were fashioned from a 1“ by 1” piece of particle board and a 1“ by 1” piece of unpainted plywood, these being separated at a distance of 0.25” by a pine strip glued along one edge. Baits were applied as single 50 mg spherical beads. Siege was applied from the Xactadose Precision Baiting System; Maxforce was applied from the manufacturer’s syringe. Once the baits had been applied in the crack and crevice device, they were stored in lab-cabinets. Here the baits were aged for 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, 28, 56, and 90 d before bioassay. Two bait placement schemes were used: 1) no-choice, where the bait in the device was placed in the opposing corners of the arena; and 2) choice, where supplemental food sources (2.5 g of Wayne™ rodent blox and grape jelly) were placed in the alternate corners of the arena. Cockroaches were released into the arenas and after a 24-h acclimation period, toxic baits and food sources were introduced to the arenas in a random order. Each combination of bait, competition, and aging was replicated three times in a completely randomized design. The speed of kill (LT50, LT95) for each combination of bait, competition, and aging was determined by regression analysis of cumulative, probit mortality against the log 10 of time (d). Further, palatability ratios (PR50, PR95) were determined by comparing the statistics in the regression analysis of the cumulative mortality in the choice bioassay to those in the no-choice bioassay for each combination of bait and aging.

The Norway rat and house mouse the most important rodent pest at farms eat and polullut the huge food quantity and carry a range of severe infectious deseases to humans and pets. Rodent control is undertaken only after its presence has been registered. Preparations for their control need to meet palatability requirements. Experiments were conducted in animal food blender facilities and pig farm (maternity and rooms with young and adult pigs) in Omoljica following the standard EPPO method. Palatability and efficacy of RB formulated baits (paste in special 10 g paper bags) containing 0.005% bromadiolone and 0.005% brodifacoum were tested against the house mouse and Norway rat . Baits in pelllete formulation were used as the standard. All the baits were placed in special boxes. Rodent abundance was evaluated based on the highest and the lowest daily baits consumption divided by the daily required of food amount, and a census method before and after treatment. Rodent presence was monitored over the next 20 days. The efficacy of the tested RB soft bag and standard formulations was calculated according to Abbott's formula. The results showed that palatability and efficacy of RB soft bag formulations (81-100%) was substantially high especially of brodifacoum-based baits.

<p>The quality of an artificial feed particularly the stability of the feed in the water is highly determined by binding agents. The objective of this study was to determine the optimum dosage of seaweed, <em>Gracilaria gigas</em> meal as binder. Completely randomized design was used in this study, with three dosages of sea weed meal as treatment feeds, i.e. 3, 6, and 9%, with three replications. The control feed was a commercial feed. The physical parameters measured were water stability, hardness level, homogeneity level, sinking rate, attractiveness, and palatability of the feed, and the chemical parameters were protein and lipid dispersion. Based on parameters of hardness level, homogeneity level, protein and lipid dispersion, feed used <em>G. gigas</em> meal of 9% was better than the commercial feed; parameters of sinking rate, attractiveness, and palatability with <em>G. gigas</em> of 9% was equal to the commercial feed; and based on parameters of water stability, the commercial feed was better than treatment feeds. However, when the three treatment feeds were compared, the 9% dosage of <em>G. gigas </em>meal was better than the other two dosages.

Rumput gamba (Andropogon gayanus) merupakan salah satu tanaman makanan ternak yang memiliki produksi dan palatabilitas yang tinggi. Rumput ini juga dimanfaatkan sebagai tanaman untuk revegetasi di lahan bekas tambang di daerah selatan Australia. Penanaman rumput gamba di lahan bekas tambang atas anjuran peternak karena dianggap rumput ini pakan hijauan yang disukai ternak dengan produksi tinggi. Hal ini juga sesuai tujuan pemanfaatan akhir lahan bekas tambang setelah rehabilitasi yaitu sebagai areal peternakan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui potensi pemanfaatan lahan bekas tambang yang ditanami rumput sebagai areal peternakan. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan cara survei lapangan, Perhitungan produksi hijauan kering didasarkan pada produksi hijauan segar per meter bujursangkar. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada areal waste rock dump dan tailing dump pada lahan bekas tambang dan padang penggembalaan alami di dekat lahan bekas tambang. Perhitungan kapasitas tampung areal lahan bekas tambang didasarkan pada rumus. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa rumput gamba dapat tumbuh dengan baik di lahan bekas tambang dengan persentase penutupan tanah berkisar antara 20-60%. Hal ini menunjukkan pemanfaatan rumput gamba sebagai penutup tanah pada areal lahan bekas tambang cukup efektif. Produksi bahan kering rumput gamba di lahan bekas tambang enam kali lebih tinggi (2465,30 ± 414,51 kg/ha) dibandingkan dengan dengan areal padang penggembalaan alami (425,46 ± 202,56 kg/ha). Kapasitas tampung di lahan bekas tambang juga jauh lebih tinggi (0,5-4 UT/ha) daripada pada padang penggembalaan alami (0,06-1 UT/ha). Tingginya produksi hijauan dan kapasitas tampung menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan lahan bekas tambang yang ditanami rumput gamba cukup potensial untuk pengembangan ternak ruminansia.

An investigation was carried out at the Animal House cum Rodent Laboratory, Department of Entomology, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during 2013-14 to evaluate the efficacy of four anticoagulant rodenticides against commensal rodent, <italic>Mus musculus</italic>. The efficacy of anticoagulant rodenticides viz., brodifacoum, flocoumafen and difenacoum along with bromadiolone were evaluated against <italic>Mus musculus</italic> under no-choice and choice feeding trial. In both choice and nochoice feeding trials the efficacy of brodifacoum (0.005%) wax block was significantly better than flocoumafen (0.005%) and difenacoum (0.005%) but at par with bromadiolone (0.005%). In no-choice feeding trial, 100 per cent mortality was achieved with brodifacoum and bromadiolone within 4-7 days observation period but significantly lower mortality was recorded in flocoumafen (80%) and difenacoum (60%). The wax block formulation of difenacoum showed poor palatability as more consumption of plain bait was recorded over poison bait against test animals. Under no-choice test, the poison ingested between male and female were not significant in case of all the toxicants. The consumption of poison bait by the test animals of both the sexes under choice test was reduced in comparison to no-choice test because of availability of an alternate plain food along with the poison bait. The post treatment consumption of bait was significantly lower in case of brodifacoum and bromadiolone in comparison to flocoumafen and difenacoum. This shows the effectiveness of these two rodenticides <italic>viz</italic>. brodifacoum and bromadiolone against rodent species.
