Toxic plant intoxication in Holstein calves was investigated. Clinical signs and pathological findings were consistent with poisoning by Cestrum diurnum, a common toxic plant.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Toxicology
  • Ruminant Pathology
  • Animal Science

Background:

  • Clinical and pathological signs in livestock can indicate toxic plant exposure.
  • Cestrum diurnum is a plant suspected of causing toxicity in cattle.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the cause of toxic plant intoxication in Holstein calves.
  • To correlate clinical and pathological findings with Cestrum diurnum exposure.

Main Methods:

  • Studied 26 Holstein calves exhibiting toxicosis symptoms.
  • Performed regional plant surveys, hemograms, serum biochemistry (albumin, total protein, calcium, phosphorus), and bone calcium analysis.
  • Conducted necropsies and pathological examinations on five affected calves.

Main Results:

  • Clinical and pathological alterations observed in calves were consistent with plant-induced toxicosis.
  • Metabolic disturbances and specific pathological findings pointed towards Cestrum diurnum as the causative agent.

Conclusions:

  • The study identified Cestrum diurnum as the likely cause of toxicosis in the studied Holstein calves.
  • Findings support the etiological role of Cestrum diurnum in bovine intoxication.
