The sequential development of the clinical signs and lesions in the organs of Nubian goat kids drenched with cyfluthrin at 500, 250 and 125 mg/kg/day b.w. was investigated. Salivation, tremors which end with choreoathetosis, upward and backward extension of the neck , respiratory rales ,bloat, greenish watery diarrhoea and recumbency were the important signs of cyfluthrin poisoning. Varying degrees of congestion and haemorrhages in different body organs, pulmonary emphysema and oedema accompanied with heart flabbiness, hepatorenal fatty change and/or necrosis and catarrhal gastroenteritis were the main pathological changes. Significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the PCV and in the RBC count (p < 0.01) accompanied with significant increase (p < 0.01) in the values of MCV and WBC count were the haematological changes. Significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the serum concentrations of total proteins, albumin and glucose and significant increase (p < 0.05) in the serum concentration of urea, and in the serum activity of AST were detected in cyfluthrin treated groups .
