On 26 June 2020, at 1200PM EDT, The Latin Comparative Pathology Group is pleased to present a "Free Friday Seminar" on "The pathology of selected diseases caused by toxic plants in cattle" by Dr. Claudio Barros, DVM, Ph.D., DACVP, Professor of Pathology, Laboratório de Patologia Animal, Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, MS, Brazil. In Brazil, there are at least 131 described toxic plants belonging to 79 genera. Annual livestock losses due to plant poisoning-associated deaths are estimated to range from 820,761 to 1,755,763 cattle, 399,800 to 445,309 sheep, 52,675 to 63,292 goats and 38,559 horses. In veterinary diagnostic laboratories around the country,approximately 15% of necropsy diagnoses involve plant poisoning, and in the deep south of the country, themain cause of death in cattle is poisoning by Senecio species. Due to time restrictions, we will address cattleintoxication considering only five plants, namely, Senecio spp. (ragwort), Pteridium arachnoideum (brackenfern), Ateleia glazioviana, Senna occidentalis (coffee senna), and Vicia villosa (hairy vetch).
