Thanks for reading the blog. We are fairly confident that all of the lead contamination has been removed from Caesar's Camp however we cannot be certain.
We are therefore taking a few cautionary measures to reduce the risk of further poisoning:
- we are only putting a very small number (4 or 5) of cattle out
- we will keep a very close eye on them - members of the team and the farmer will be checking them every day. We are using a radio tracker to locate them more quickly.
- we will report anything suspicious quickly to the farmer.
It would be great if you could help us out with this. Please keep to your rota (and any spare time you may have!) and keep a note of where you see them. If you see any strange behaviour, or any of the symptoms listed below please REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your help.
Initial signs include depression, loss of appetite or occasionally diarrhoea. The central nervous system may be affected and cause cattle to grind their teeth, bob their head, or twitch their eyes or ears. Some animals may circle, press their head or body against objects, or become uncoordinated and stagger. Muscle tremors, excitement, mania, blindness or convulsions may also be seen.
Thanks Alex
