Effects of the accidental feeding of lasalocid sodium to broiler breeder chickens. The Veterinary record, 1993, Mar-13, Volume: 132, Issue:11 Lasalocid sodium was accidentally introduced into the feed of several broiler breeder chicken farms at levels between 115 and 150 ppm. On one farm, leg weakness and ataxia were observed in a few cockerels. A reduction in egg production and a sharp decrease in fertility and hatchability were observed in all the flocks receiving the contaminated feed. Many piping chicks were unable to hatch and there was an increase in the number of weak ataxic chicks at the hatchery. Histological examination of the muscle tissues of the affected cockerels, the piping chicks unable to hatch and the one-day-old chicks with leg weakness and ataxia revealed severe muscle damage.

Incompatibility between lasalocid and chloramphenicol in broiler chicks after a long-term simultaneous administration. Veterinary research communications, 1987, Volume: 11, Issue:2 Two growth experiments were conducted to evaluate in broiler chicks the compatibility between lasalocid medication in the feed (at 90 or 125 ppm) and a long-term administration of chloramphenicol either via the feed (500 ppm) or via the drinking water (500 mg/liter). The simultaneous administration of lasalocid and chloramphenicol generally caused severe growth depression, decreased feed intake and impaired feed conversion. Several chicks showed evident symptoms of intoxication, such as ataxia, leg weakness and paralysis. The development and frequency of these symptoms were dependent on the dosage of lasalocid and on the duration of the simultaneous administration. Biochemical examinations (Experiment 2) revealed in the affected chicks significant changes in several parameters, in particular a markedly increased activity of creatine kinase and GOT in the plasma. It confirmed that the observed leg weakness and paralysis were caused by myodegeneration.
