Maduramicin poisoning in prepartum dairy cows due to cross‐contamination of anionic salts
Abstract Maduramicin is prohibited in ruminant feed due to its high toxicity. The aim of this study is to describe a case of maduramicin poisoning caused by industrial cross‐contamination of anionic salts in prepartum dairy cattle. The clinical signs observed included anorexia, depression, nasal discharge, salivation, reddish urine and haematochezia ...
