Summary: | Mink feeding trials with warfarin, sodium monofluoroacetate and methyl parathion were conducted to investigate the primary and secondary toxicity of these compounds. Mink fed warfarin-contaminated rabbit did not exhibit secondary toxicity perhaps because warfarin may be readily bound and/or metabolized in non- or less toxic metabolites by a primary consumer. Tests for secondary toxicity of sodium monofluoroacetate were discontinued because lethal concentrations of the compound for mink could not be produced by feeding mink carcasses of rabbits. The methyl parathion LC50 tests were abandoned after 12 days of exposure because in both primary and secondary tests the mink rejected the treated feed. |
