[QUOTE="J Hoy, post: 1744170, member: 16398"] I didn't think the vet would find an eyeball, since the calf's small eye looked similar to malformed eyes I have observed. What I have tried many times to explain is that pesticides like the high use insecticides called neonicotinoids, especially imidacloprid and herbicides like glyphosate/Roundup, 2,4-D and other high use herbicides have been found in tests of air, rain and snow, surface water and on foliage all over North America. When the rain or snow falls on the grass or other foliage eaten by livestock or wildlife, the animal is exposed to varying amounts of the pesticides in every bite of foliage. Likely a primary reason that grazing animal newborns appear to be more highly affected than carnivore newborns is that the pregnant grazing animals eat many pounds of foliage each day, in addition to what they get by drinking water and breathing. If the grazing animal is domestic and is fed grain, the exposure is even greater, especially to Glyphosate Based Herbicides like Roundup, because that is sprayed on grain right before it is harvested. I guess you never heard about the high the levels of glyphosate found by testing Cherrios and other grain based products fed to children? On deer fawns from does deliberately exposed to imidacloprid, they not only had underdeveloped facial bones - underbite or overbite, they had disrupted development of the reproductive organs.
