The buffalo had had access to Pavetta schumanniana, a plant that is known to cause gousiekte. Death was attributed to cardiac failure as a result of previous consumption of the plant, exacerbated by the stress of translocation.enSouth African Veterinary AssociationAfrican buffalo (Syncerus caffer)CardiomyopathyGousiekteMutirikwe Recreational ParkZimbabwePavetta schumannianaSyncerus cafferAfrican buffalo -- DiseasesPlant poisoning in animalsMyocardium -- DiseasesArticle
