    TOXIC PRINCIPLE: Mechanism of formation: • Plant hairs are apparently poorly digested by ruminal micro-organisms and accumulate in especially the abomasum. • Here under the influence of abomasal movement, innumerable ...
  • Medicago sativa and Trifolium species 
    Botha, C.J. (Christoffel Jacobus); Venter, Elna; University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Dept. of Paraclinical Sciences. Section Pharmacology and Toxicology (2002)
    DISTRIBUTION: Trifolium spp. as well as Medicago spp. were imported from Europe and Asia to grow as fodder for stock. The Oudtshoorn district is responsible for about 90% of the lucerne seed produced in South Africa.
  • Solanum tettense 
    Botha, C.J. (Christoffel Jacobus); Venter, Elna; University of Pretoria. Faculty of Veterinary Science. Dept. of Paraclinical Sciences. Section Pharmacology and Toxicology (2002)
    DISTRIBUTION: It grows on flats or hill slopes, and on sandy, loamy or stony soil, especially where the soil is overgrazed or disturbed. Once S. kwebense becomes established in an area, no grass will grow in its vicinity.
  • Grasses and weeds
