Oak leaf poisoning in cattle linked to spring forage scarcity
USDA specialists warn oak leaves can cause fatal poisoning in cattle when green forage is scarce in spring. Poisoning usually results from long, exclusive feeding on leaves. Adding alfalfa hay or other feed mitigates risk. some cattle tolerate leaves, but injury often follows heavy intake over 16 to 85 days. Oak leaves are a danger before grasses appear, so spring turnout should be delayed.
