Intoxicação por Tephrosia cinérea (falso anil) em ovinos / Poisoning by Tephrosia cinérea (false índigo) in sheep

ABSTRACT

Over the years, the national sheep industry obtained an increase in its population, even with the climatic adversities such as drought that consequently cause a shortage of food, thereby increasing the intoxications by toxic plants. Each year the discovery of toxic plants is increasing, having a great importance in veterinary medicine, for the diagnosis of certain disorders that may come to affect the equines, cattle, sheep and goats. The present work reports the poisoning by Tephrosia cinérea in a sheep, with the purported diagnosis, treatment to recovery of the animal.
