Abstract: An outbreak of Brachiaria decumbens poisoning in goats in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, is described. Out of a herd of about 1,000 goats, seven goats died after showing photosensitivity (3 out 7 goats) and icterus (4/7). Other clinical signs included lethargy, dehydration and weight loss (7/7). At necropsy there was either hepatomegaly or liver atrophy; orange, yellow or gray discoloration -were observed in the liver of six goats. Two had accentuation of lobular pattern and punctate, linear or stell… Show more

“…Our study comprises two approaches: (i) a systematic investigation of sulfur oxidation using different characterization techniques and (ii) evaluating sulfur and potassium fertilization responses using Brachiaria ssp. The latter was evaluated by comparing the soil without the addition of S and K, supply of sulfur from S 0 (non-bioavailable sulfur) and KCl (readily available potassium), supply of K 2 SO 4 (readily available sulfur and potassium), and two samples obtained from different milling times named S-1 h and S-8 h. Brachiaria spp. is a forage grass that initially originated in East Africa, now widely used in many tropical and sub-tropical countries, including Brazil, , due to its higher tolerance to low-fertility soils, drought resistance ability, and generally free of pests and diseases …”

“…Plants of the genus Brachiaria are used in several countries as forage (Muniandy et al 2020) and cause spontaneous poisoning in cattle (Souza et al 2010), sheep (Riet-Correa et al 2011, Faccin et al 2014, 2019a, goats (Rosa et al 2016), buffaloes (De Oliveira et al 2013), and horses (Barbosa et al 2006). The poisoning was reproduced in sheep (Cruz et al 2001, Driemeier et al 2002, Saturnino et al 2010, Porto et al 2013, and rabbits (Utiumi et al 2018).…”

“…is responsible for the poisoning (Souza et al 2010, Ogliari et al 2018. In those instances, the protodioscin concentrations were not determined (Lemos et al 1996, Caicedo et al 2012, Rosa et al 2016, Utiumi et al 2018, and even when they were, each plant species was not analyzed separately (Mustafa et al 2012, Diamantino et al 2018, 2019a, 2019b.…”

“…The intoxication by Brachiaria spp. it's described under natural conditions in sheep [5], goats [25,30], cattle [17], buffaloes [19], and horses [2]. Although the disease by ingestion of this grass is frequent in Brazil, the epidemiological factors for its onset have not yet fully elucidated [17].…”
