Abstract

An outbreak of organophosphorus and pyrethroid insecticide poisoning in cows in the city of Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, is described. Eleven from 25 animals died. The main manifestations included diarrhea, sometimes bloody, apathy, anorexia, sialorrhea, muscular trembles, incoordenation and dyspnea. At post-mortem examinations, lung edema, sub pleural emphysema and  hemorrhages disturbances of varied forms and intensity in several organs were observed. There were no significant microscopic changes in any animal. Analyses for organophosphorus and pyrethroid insecticide derivates from rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum contents were negative. Samples of livers and kidneys resulted positive for dichlorvos and cypermethrin.

KEYWORDS: Cattle, insecticides, organophosphorus, pyrethroid.
