The alkaloidal residue obtained after extraction of dried and pulverized Senecio nemorensis ssp. fuchsii contains two pyrrolizidine alkaloids, i.e. fuchsisenecionine and senecionine. In a chronic experiment doses of 8 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg b.w. of the alkaloidal extract were given five times a week by
The main objectives of this study were to determine the 1,2-dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloid (DHPA) content in Senecio grisebachii Baker (Compositae), to experimentally demonstrate its toxicity in calves and to describe the main clinical and pathological findings of this toxicity. S. grisebachii plants
Progressive changes in serum enzyme activity and liver histologic features were monitored in calves fed tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea)-contaminated pellets. The experiments were designed to simulate natural intoxicant ingestion conditions in relationship to the dose and duration of exposure to the
Senecio vernalis and other plants containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) are implicated in the poisoning of cattle. The liver is a known target organ. In this study the content of the alkaloids senecionine (SCO), senkirkin (SKK) and seneciphyllin (SCP) and their toxic effects in cattle were
Twenty horses of various ages had inadvertently ingested alfalfa hay contaminated with Senecio vulgaris. Among them, 4 died of liver disease. Blood was collected from affected horses at monthly intervals for 7 months and at the 9th and 14th months. The following serum enzymes and chemical items were
