Item Effect of supplementary feeding of vitamin K1 on difethialone treated Indian gerbil, Tatera indica Hardwicke in laboratory.(2004-03-06) Chaudhary, Vipin; Tripathi, R S; Poonia, F STwo dosages (1 and 2 mg/kg) of vitamin K1 supplementation for 5 and 15 days were given to Indian gerbil T. indica fed on difethialone bait (0.0025%) for one day. The results indicated that the lower dosage could not reverse the anticoagulation process, however the period of mortality was considerably increased from 3-9 days (in control) to 5-14 days (5 days supplementation regime). Subsequently when the vitamin K1 dosage was doubled and given for 15 days, there was 100% reversal of anticoagulation process and all the test gerbils became normal within a month of poisoning with difethialone bait.
