| a fodder mycotoxicosis of ruminants caused by contamination of a distillery by-product with aspergillus clavatus. | cattle and sheep, grazed successively on the same pasture and given the same supplementary feeding, developed ataxia and several animals became recumbent. three cattle died within two weeks and the worst affected sheep were killed for laboratory examination. the supplementary diet which consisted largely of a distillery by-product, malt culms, was submitted for mycological examination and fed to two housed lambs. aspergillus clavatus was cultured from the culms, and both the affected sheep and t ... | 1989 | 2929087 |
| a tremorgenic mycotoxicosis of cattle caused by maize sprouts infested with aspergillus clavatus. | an outbreak of disease affecting a herd of 16 dairy cattle which were fed mouldy, sprouted maize is described. eight of the cattle were affected, 5 of which died. the clinical signs included muscular tremors, hypersensitivity, ataxia, anorexia and salivation. aspergillus clavatus was the only fungus isolated from the sprouts. clinical signs that were indistinguishable from those in the field outbreak were reproduced by dosing the mouldy maize sprouts to a steer and a sheep, and by dosing another ... | 1984 | 6533519 |
| spinal cord degeneration in adult dairy cows associated with the feeding of sorghum beer residues. | a neurological syndrome in a herd of friesland cows (n = 100) on a diet including sorghum beer residues is described. over a period of 8 months, 76 cows developed weakness of the hindquarters, progressively worsening ataxia and, eventually, paralysis and permanent recumbency. the course of the disease varied from 2 to 8 weeks. the lesions were significant in the 2 cows necropsied and included extensive, bilaterally symmetrical dilation of myelin sheaths, axonal swelling and loss with wallerian d ... | 1994 | 7602575 |
| neurological disorder in dairy cattle associated with consumption of beer residues contaminated with aspergillus clavatus. | a neurological syndrome in dairy cattle associated with consumption of moldy beer residues is described. the disease occurred on 1 farm in late june 2001, during winter. six heifers and 1 cow out of 45 cattle were affected during a 3-week period. the affected animals died spontaneously or were euthanized approximately 2-14 days after the onset of clinical signs. the clinical signs were characterized by flaccid paralysis and gait abnormalities. clinical signs were more pronounced after exercise a ... | 2003 | 12661722 |
| patulin produced by an aspergillus clavatus isolated from feed containing malting residues associated with a lethal neurotoxicosis in cattle. | a severe neurotoxicosis, comprising tremors, ataxia, paresis, recumbency and death, occurred simultaneously among several herds of beef cattle in the region of flanders (belgium). after a first multi-toxin screening of some suspected diet elements, verruculogen was detected in a sample of a common feed ingredient. however, when the first animal necropsies revealed serious nervous lesions, including neuronal degeneration of the central nervous system and axonal degeneration in the peripheral nerv ... | 2004 | 15702266 |
| aspergillus clavatus tremorgenic neurotoxicosis in cattle fed sprouted grains. | beef and dairy cattle from four different herds in southern and central queensland fed hydroponically-produced sprouted barley or wheat grain heavily infested with aspergillus clavatus developed posterior ataxia with knuckling of fetlocks, muscular tremors and recumbency, but maintained appetite. a few animals variously had reduced milk production, hyperaesthesia, drooling of saliva, hypermetria of hind limbs or muscle spasms. degeneration of large neurones was seen in the brain stem and spinal ... | 2004 | 15887390 |

| [tremorgenic syndrome in a cattle herd after feeding silage contaminated with a. clavatus]. | the clinical signs, pathological and laboratory findings of cattle suffering from a tremorgenic syndrome are described. animals on a farm with a total of 22 cows, 18 heifers and 9 calves were fed mouldy grass and spent malt-grain silage. five heifers were affected with muscular tremor, hyperexcitability and hypersensitivity. they were ataxic or in sternal recumbency, while their appetite remained normal. haematology and blood chemistry in two heifers as well as cerebrospinal fluid from one sick ... | 2011 | 21360447 |
