Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Poisonous plants are notorious for causing serious problems and economic losses, directly affecting the livestock sector. The plants of the genus Stryphnodendron mainly affect the digestive, integumentary and reproductive systems. The objective of this work was to report the case of a bovine that was poisoned by Stryphnodendro sp. The owner reported the occurrence of apathy, hyporexia, sialorrhoea and diarrhoea, observed a day previously and that this was the only animal to show these clinical signs. The animal died a few hours after being attended. The necropsy revealed the presence of seeds of both genera in the digestive tract, multiple ulcers in the abomasum and renal and hepatic alterations that were also evidenced in the blood tests.
