Abstract

Poisoning due to accidental ingestion of butachlor, a herbicide, was encountered in five horses. Significant improvement was observed in two horses after the initial treatment with 5% dextrose saline, anti-bloat, pheniramine maleate and liver tonics whereas other three horses responded after a second therapy. Signs of hyper salivation and tympany disappeared and animals turned completely normal on 3rd day of treatment.
