Description
Bunnybait Oat Bait For Rabbits
Active Ingredient: Pindone @ 0.5g/kg
Similar or comparable to Shotgun Pindone Oat Rabbit Bait (Freezone)
Bunnybait Oat Bait for Rabbits offers a strategic solution for rabbit control, particularly in areas where traditional methods are insufficient or too costly. Bunnybait utilises pindone, a chronic anticoagulant poison, which requires multiple feeds for lethality, making it safer for non-target animals and humans due to its slow action and minimal buildup in the food chain. An effective control program involves understanding rabbit behaviour, identifying active areas, and employing free-feeding before poison bait application. Monitoring and adapting the program based on observed results are essential for optimising control efforts.
Using Bunnybait Oat Bait For Rabbits for the Control of Rabbits must be done in accordance with the directions of the appropriate State or Territory Government Department, under the appropriate State or Territory legislation. It can be used for the control of rabbits in and around farms and farm buildings, and in urban and closely settled areas. Pindone is one of two poisons registered for rabbit control in Australia. The other poison is sodium fluoroacetate or “1080”, which is normally used in rural areas only. 1080 cannot be used in built-up areas because of the dangers of secondary poisoning of dogs and cats (which may eat rabbit carcasses).
Bunny Bait contains 0.5g/kg of Pindone, present as a sodium salt. It is a first-generation anti-coagulant poison that blocks the process in the liver that recycles vitamin K, which prevents the blood from clotting, resulting in death. This may take several days to occur. Designed in accordance with the directions of the appropriate state or territory government department and legislation.
Pindone interferes with the routine synthesis of vitamin K-dependent blood clotting factors in the liver. Without these factors, the normal daily damage to blood vessels can no longer be repaired. Poisoned animals usually die from multiple causes associated with anaemia or hypovolemic shock. A large single dose (18 mg/kg for rabbits) or repeated smaller doses (0.52 mg/kg/day over 7 days) are generally needed to induce death. After ingestion of anticoagulants, there is usually a lag period of 3-5 days before the onset of clinical signs. This delayed onset reflects the time required to deplete existing stores of vitamin K and blood-clotting factors.I
