| Abstract: | Ten dairy cows were separated into two groups of five. One group was ear tagged with a PVC ear tag containing 8-5 g kg?1 cypermethrin in each ear. A PVC strip impregnated with the same quantity of cypermethrin was attached to the tail of each cow in the other group. The concentration of cypermethrin in hair samples from the neck, flanks and the anterior, sides and the posterior of the udder was measured for a period of 10 weeks after application. Concentrations were found to be high in those body areas nearest to the points of application, moderate on the flanks but low on the front and sides of the udder. |
