Observations on the accidental poisoning of birds by organophosphate insecticides and other toxic substances.
Details of cases involving the inadvertent exposure of birds to eight toxic substances are recorded. The organophosphate insecticides dichlorvos, diazinon and malathion produced respiratory symptoms which in the former and latter cases were initially thought to be caused by infectious disease. Birds which consumed feed containing fenitrothion showed nervous signs before death. On three separate occasions feral starlings (Sternus vulgaris) were found dead and their gizzard contents contained mevinphos. The rodenticide warfarin was associated with petechial haemorrhages in the skeletal muscles and on the serosal surfaces of one hen. Cyanogenic glycosides from Eucalyptus cladocalyx were responsible for the sudden deaths of ducks and guinea fowl. 'Ornamental dough' containing sodium chloride was fed to birds which were deprived of water and they showed diarrhoea and nervous disorders before death.

The physiological effects of feeding warfarin poultry.
A 20 week study using layer and broiler strain chicks of both sexes was undertaken to determine whether poultry were susceptible to warfarin-induced granulomatous endocardial lesions. Birds were fed a corn-soybean meal basal diet with no added vitamin K, supplemented with either 0, 25, 50, or 100 ppm of warfarin or vitamin K at .6 mg/kg of diet. Broiler chicks showed a higher incidence of hemorrhages, more mortality, and longer prothrombin times than did the layer strain fed the same diets. Regardless of the breed, female chicks fed the highest warfarin level had significantly longer prothrombin times than the male chicks. However, there were no sex differences associated with mortality or incidence of hemorrhages among birds fed the experimental diets. Growth was most significantly reduced for chicks fed the highest warfarin level and to a lesser degree for birds fed 50 ppm of warfarin. In contrast to the first 10 weeks of the study, there was a sharp decline in mortality, incidence of hemorrhages, and prothrombin times during the last 10 weeks of the study. Layer and broiler strains of chickens fed warfarin for 20 weeks showed no evidence of granulomatous endocardial lesions as was reported for swine (Oshiro and Brooks, 1975).
