What is 1080?
1080 and Water1080 is water
soluble1649 water
samples tested 1990-2003

Blocks the essential body process “kerb cycle”
Over stimulating the CNS Causes alternation of cardiac functions
resulting in myocardial depression, cardiac arrhythmias and circulatory collapse.
0.06mg/kg lethal dose to a dogCNS stimulation is main effect in dogsTarget organs being the brain and heart
Toxicology
Signs can appear as little as half an hour or several hours after poisoning
Clinical Signs•Disorientated•Hyperventilation•Nervousness•Weakness•Fecal and urinary incontinence•Sensitive to touch•Exhibit severe pain•Aggressive
•Hyperactive•Drool at the mouth•Vomit•Show muscle tremors•Convulsions•Restless•Depression•Anxiety
Affected animals can die within hours after signs first appear.
Con’sPro’s
Poison found in carcass for 3 months after death
Dogs are highly sensitive
Ingested, inhaled, or percutaneous
Accidental poisoning
BiodegradableDilutes in water Animals that don't
consume a lethal dose excrete poisons without any harm
Save native wildlife
• First made as rodenticide in the late 1930’s
• Commercial use 1944
• First Nz trail 1954
• 1957 the poison had become worldwide
History
Public notification Media Pesticide summaries.Warning signs
Public Awareness
• Warn dog owners, • May issue muzzles • May issue emetics
Applicator must:
Animals that survive more than 2 hours after exposure will recover completely
New Zealand is the largest user of 108095% of North Island brown kiwi chicksPossums are the highest carrier of TBNew Zealand has one of the highest extinction
rates1080 drops during winter and spring
Facts
AntidoteHortResearchAfter several years and
testing on rats, rabbits and sheep an
antidote provided successful in trails.
But before testing on dogs,
HortResearch assessed if there was a public or industry demand
for an antidote.Their still in debate!
DogsA simple emetic treatment can be
used if administered
within a hour of bait being eaten
Solutions of saltWashing soda
Hunting TrappingOther Poisons Biological control
Alternative Pest ControlLabour intensive
Requires easy accessCostly
Aerial drops of 1080 achieves 90% reduction in possum populations over large area of rugged and inaccessible
