Authors
Abstract
In a herd of 40 cattle of the Holstein-Friesian breed, 6 animals were euthanized for severe pruritus, fever and skin lesions. Pathomorphological examination of 3 animals revealed multisystemic granulomatous inflammation involving multinuclear giant cells. The content of vetch in the feed used and the characteristic histology led to the diagnosis of vetch poisoning.
