CASE REPORT
This report documents an outbreak of acute renal failure in a flock of 9-month-old White Suffolk-cross ewe lambs. The mortality rate was moderate but the morbidity was high. The lambs had grazed a wheat stubble paddock in which there were several weed species, including Amaranthus spp.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Renal failure in livestock has been reported internationally following the ingestion of Amaranthus spp. and although it has previously been suspected in Australia no cases have been documented. It is important for Australian veterinarians and farmers to realise the toxic potential of this group of plants.
病例报告
本报告记录了一群9月龄的白萨福克杂交母羊羔中爆发的急性肾衰竭。死亡率中等，但发病率很高。这些羊羔在一片小麦茬牧场放牧，牧场中有几种杂草，包括苋属植物。
临床意义
国际上已有家畜摄入苋属植物后出现肾衰竭的报道，尽管澳大利亚此前曾怀疑有此类情况，但尚无病例记录。澳大利亚的兽医和农民认识到这类植物的潜在毒性很重要。
