The New zealand LD 50 for pigs is .4mg/kg so not much and given pigs feeding habits they are in the firing line, they do have a mechanism that allows them to vomit which will save a few Im sure .The LD 50 is simply a lethal for 50% of a population. What isn't known is the maximum dose a pig may ingest and still survive. There is also some question around the toxic dose for a human, it is mostly guess work as far as I can find and comes from some quite old studies.
Has anyone seen,can link, any recent studies on the toxic levels to humans that isn't a regurgitation of old estimates ?

I dont see a lot real investigative journalism in local media, I think the internet has turned news into a race to be first consigning facts to the back of the bus.
