Enzootic calcinosis in sheep exposed to hay contaminated with Solanum glaucophyllum [PDF]
Enzootic calcinosis (EC), by ingestion of toxic plant Solanum glaucophyllum, is a well-known chronic disease in Argentina affecting cattle under extensive grazing systems. It is characterized by systemic calcification of soft tissues, that can progress to death when severe cardiovascular lesions are present.

Effect of supplementing sows with Solanum glaucophyllum, a natural source of calcitriol, on farrowing performance, piglet survival and litter performance [PDF]
Survival of piglets until weaning is a major contributor to the rentability of pig production systems. Large litters are often associated with complications and prolongation of the farrowing duration causing piglet mortality.

Pharmacokinetics of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 glycosides from Solanum glaucophyllum extract given in a rumen bolus on blood mineral profiles in dry pregnant dairy cows. [PDF]
Providing tablets of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), the biologically active metabolite of vitamin D3, in a rumen bolus may be used as prevention for periparturient hypocalcemia in dairy cows.

Potential of a rumen bolus containing 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 glycosides for the prevention of hypocalcaemia in primiparous and multiparous dairy cows [PDF]
Periparturient hypocalcaemia is a widespread metabolic disorder in dairy cows. Clinical and subclinical cases occur primarily in multiparous (Multi) cows, but subclinical cases have also been reported in primiparous (Primi) cows.

Tolerance to 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 glycosides from Solanum glaucophyllum by the growing pig
Solanum glaucophyllum leaves contain high levels of glycosidically bound 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3, the most important vitamin D metabolite. The tolerance to this source was evaluated during six weeks with fifty weaned pigs fed increasing levels (0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20μg 1,25(OH)2D3/kg diet).

Solanum glaucophyllum as source of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.
Vitamin D-deficient rats given an aqueous extract of the South American plant Solanum glaucophyllum accumulate 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in their blood and intestines at the time they show enhanced intestinal calcium absorption. The identity of the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 was established by co-chromatography with 1,25-dihydroxy[23,24-3H]vitamin D3 on ...
