Case of suspected theobromine poisoning in dairy cattle

Abstract: High-yielding dairy cows collapsed and died displaying signs of a disturbed central nervous system (muscle tremor, convulsion) and a considerably reduced body condition score. An intense diagnostic screening did not allow to confirm a definite diagnosis. Therefore, further analyses including an evaluation of feeds and feeding were initiated. The herd was fed a total mixed ration (TMR) based on corn and grass silage of moderate nutritive value supplemented with various amounts of chocolate chips.

“…Food waste with plant components can contain high concentrations of enzyme inhibitors like tannins and alkaloids, which reduce feed intake and nutrient utilization (Georganas et al, 2020). Food wastes and former foods also may contain secondary metabolites and toxins that can be harmful to animals, such as chocolate residues that are high in theobromine (Makinde et al, 2019;Klein et al, 2021).…”
