By degrading the dung of livestock that graze on pastures, coprophilous arthropods accelerate the cycling of nutrients to maintain pasture quality. Many veterinary medicinal products, such as ivermectin, are excreted unchanged in the dung of treated livestock. These residues can be insecticidal and may reduce the function (i.e., dung‐degradation) of the coprophilous community. In the present ...
The authorization of veterinary medicinal products (VMP) requires that they be assessed for non‐target effects in the environment. Numerous field studies have assessed these effects on dung organisms. However, few studies have examined effects on soil‐dwelling organisms, which might be exposed to VMP residues released during dung degradation. We compared the abundance of earthworms and ...
The authors initiated a field experiment whereby a series of replicated plots received annual applications of ivermectin, monensin and zinc bacitracin, either singly or in a mixture. Pharmaceuticals were added at concentrations of 0.1 mg/ kg soil, or 10 mg/kg soil. The authors collected soil samples in 2013, before and following the fourth annual application of pharmaceuticals. In addition, a ...
Avermectins are widely used to treat livestock for parasite infections. Ivermectin, which belongs to the group of avermectins, is particularly hazardous to the environment, especially to crustaceans and to soil-dwelling organisms. Sorption is one of the key factors controlling transport and bioavailability. Therefore, batch studies have been conducted to characterize the sorption and desorption ...
