Accidental poisoning with Wedelia glauca (“sunchillo”) in a bull confirmed by analysis of rumen content

Wedelia glauca is an invasive, perennial plant of the Asteraceae family native to South America. Its toxicity is attributed to the presence of a hepatotoxic terpenoid known as atractyloside, a powerful inhibitor of cellular respiration and ATP synthesis. Cattle are the most frequently poisoned speci...
