mg/kg and LD100 between 15.0 and 18.0 mg/kg. Laying hens appeared to be more susceptible to 1080<br />

poisoning than hens that were not laying. Chickens are considerably more resistant to 1080 poisoning than<br />

are many <strong>of</strong> the small mammals.<br />

Abstract: Some recent developments in the area <strong>of</strong> utilizing ruminal microorganisms for the modification<br />

and improvement <strong>of</strong> productivity in ruminants are described. The inoculants, designed for establishment in<br />

the new domestic ruminant host, have specific, superior or modified activities, but currently have a<br />

restricted geographical or species distribution. Current work has focused on three novel or augmented<br />

activities, namely: reducing the toxicity <strong>of</strong> particular plant <strong>poisons</strong>, increasing the utilization <strong>of</strong> plant fibre<br />

and the modification <strong>of</strong> protein supply. The most successful projects so far have tackled the detoxification<br />

<strong>of</strong> the plant <strong>poisons</strong>, mimosine and fluoroacetate, but projects aimed at increasing the utilization <strong>of</strong> plant<br />

fibre are now well advanced. Molecular techniques have significantly assisted in the identification,<br />

differentiation and tracking <strong>of</strong> organisms and are essential for the construction <strong>of</strong> modified organisms<br />

Abstract: More than 100 baiting and poison trials using sodium mon<strong>of</strong>luoroacetate (compound 1080)<br />

carried out by the New Zealand Forest Service from 1957 to 1961 on fallow, red and sika deer, are<br />

described in some detail. Toxicity ratings varied from 1/4 lb to 1 lb (0.11 - 0.45 kg) <strong>of</strong> 1080 per 1,000 lb<br />

(454 kg) <strong>of</strong> chopped carrot bait, apparently the bait most favoured by these species <strong>of</strong> deer. If the LD50 for<br />

deer is similar to that for sheep (0.45 mg per 1 kg <strong>of</strong> body weight) a lethal dose for a 11lb (50 kg) deer<br />

would be contained in some 1.5 oz (40 g) <strong>of</strong> toxic carrot at the toxicity levels used. Some deer in the trials<br />

consumed more than 4 lb (1.8 kg) <strong>of</strong> toxic carrot, which would have contained well over 30 lethal doses.<br />

More than 500 deer were poisoned on grassy river flats and at least 40 in Noth<strong>of</strong>agus forest edges. The<br />

danger to native and exotic birds does not appear to be nearly as great as was anticipated. These trials<br />

indicate that large concentrations <strong>of</strong> deer on open clearings and in forest edges can be effectively reduced<br />

by the use <strong>of</strong> 1080 in carrot bait. It appears unlikely at this stage, however, that this technqiue will<br />

supersede hunting as an econmic method <strong>of</strong> deer control in most <strong>of</strong> New Zealand's 14,000,000ac<br />

(5,700,000 ha) <strong>of</strong> indigenous watershed-protection and production forests, or in the 1,000,000 ac (405, 000<br />

ha) <strong>of</strong> exotic production forests.<br />
