Abstract

Abamectin is an injectable parasiticide of wide spectrum that in a small volume administration controls effectively against a variety of parasites that endanger the health and productivity of cattle. This paper aims to report 14 cases of abamectin intoxication in girolanda calves, age less than three months old, on a dairy property in the city of Jequetibá state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The affected animals presented apathy, anorexia and ataxia, and were treated with fluid therapy. From the 14 cases of intoxication, 11 resulted in death of the animals.
