Nitrate poisoning caused by turnips and redroot

Pages 165-166 | Published online: 23 Feb 2011
 

Abstract

Extract

Variegated thistle, mintweed, sorghum, mangolds, and oaten hay have been shown to cause nitrate poisoning in animals under certain conditions. To our knowledge, this is the first observation in New Zealand on nitrate poisoning of cattle by turnip tops and redroot (Amaranthus retroflexus). Connor (Citation1951) states that redroot contains appreciable quantities of nitrate in the stems and branches and could possibly lead to poisoning.
