| Abstract | Salt, cottonseed meal, mineral mixtures, silage and various dry feeds, either alone or in combination, gave little or no protection against wheat pasture poisoning. Presumably, acting as a diluent, they may lengthen the time necessary for the attack to occur. They do not, however, act as a preventive. Poisoning on wheat pasture occurs primarily in mature cows, 2 years of age or older, which are in the late stages of pregnancy or with a calf at side. Most cases developed sometime between 60 and 150 days on wheat, and the cow had a calf under 60 days of age. The best treatment seemed to be injection of a calcium gluconate solution fortified with magnesium and phosphorus. Recovery seemed to be speeded by removing the cow from the wheat pasture for a short time. No recurrence was observed in any animal which had recovered from the initial attack. |
