Alpha-chloralose

Description:

What is alpha-chloralose

Alpha-chloralose is a chemical derivative of glucose and chloral hydrate. It is used as a means to control the number of birds and sometimes as a sedative for animals. The mechanism of action is based on the suppression of the central nervous system: the substance causes drowsiness, decreased body temperature and paralysis in small animals. The substance has a cumulative effect — after eating the bait, birds fall into a deep stupor and often die from hypothermia or respiratory arrest.
