Samples were collected from 2 groups of cattle subjected to induced fluoroacetate intoxication, each group receiving a different dose of acetamide (antidote). Monofluoroacetic acid was detected in samples of intoxicated cattle in concentrations inversely proportional to the dose of acetamide. Thus, earwax analysis represents a successful approach for detection and monitoring of fluoroacetate poisoning.engAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/BovineCompound 1080EarwaxHS/GC-MSFluoroacetate poisoningArtigo10.1016/j.toxicon.2017.07.014
