Sweet clover poisoning risks cattle in Manitoba
In southwestern Manitoba cattle fed mouldy sweet clover risk dicoumarol poisoning that disrupts blood clotting and can cause spontaneous hemorrhage. Early signs include weakness and pallor, progressing to bleeding and death. Treatment is slow and prevention by removing clover, proper curing, storage, and limiting to 25 percent of roughage.
