Abstract

Emamectin benzoate is a macrocyclic lactone which is commonly used as pest control in agriculture and indiscriminate use of these compounds causes toxicity in the livestock. Two buffaloes were reported to be had a history of accidental ingestion of emamectin benzoate mixed solution and they showed disorientation, circling, incoordination, salivation, nasal discharges and shivering. Animals were treated with atropine sulfate, fluid therapy with vitamin supplementation and oral laxatives. Adult buffalo was recovered from the toxicity by the fifth day of therapy but buffalo calf was died by the second day of therapy.
