Résumé :	Cabergoline is a potent inhibitor of prolactin release and a potential fertility control agent for foxes. To understand how cabergoline could behave in baits deployed for fox control, we conducted laboratory and field trials to investigate the stability of cabergoline when ( 1) in solution, ( 2) injected into a bait ( deep- fried liver and Foxoff (R)) and ( 3) exposed to a range of environmental conditions, including burial. Cabergoline, dissolved in a 1% acetic acid solution, and its carboxylic acid hydrolysis product can be assayed using high- performance liquid chromatography. When stored at 4 degrees C and at room temperature, cabergoline in solution was stable for up to 36 days. When stored under cool (
