“…The suspicion of intoxication is one of the most difficult diagnostic problems encountered by equine practitioners (Wickstrom and Blakley 2002). The diagnosis of neurological dysfunction caused by mycotoxins is especially complex and depends not only on the history, clinical signs and lesions, but also on the identification of the specific mycotoxin present in the forage or grain (Plumlee and Galey 1994).…”

Summary Ingestion of food contaminated with slaframine, an alkaloid produced by Rhizoctonia leguminicola, causes a mycotoxicosis, characterised by excessive salivation. Twenty‐eight horses demonstrated this clinical sign after the consumption of alfalfa hay which on inspection showed dark patches on many of the stems. The presence of slaframine (1.5 ppm) in this hay was confirmed by gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. This is the first equine slaframine toxicosis case reported in Brazil.
