| dc.description.abstract | Five sheep developed severe nervous signs after being drenched with Albizia versicolor podmaterial. Four of these sheep were treated with pyridoxine hydrochloride (a vitamin B₆) when the symptoms of toxicity became life-threatening. All the treated sheep recovered dramatically and completely after treatment while the untreated one died 2 h after receiving pod-material. A therapeutic dose of 20-25 mg pyridoxine hydrochloride/kg body mass given twice with an 8 h interval is the recommended treatment regimen. The route of administration will depend on the severity of symptoms. Chemical pathology and post-mortem findings are discussed. | en |
