Five 20-week-old tom turkeys from a flock of range turkeys were presented for examination; the flock had a history of salivation, tremors, paralysis, and increased mortality. Necropsy revealed numerous seeds identified as seeds from Conium maculatum (poison hemlock) within the crop, proventriculus, and gizzard. Histopathologic alterations were limited to catarrhal enteritis. Clinical signs of Conium maculatum toxicosis abated after the turkeys were removed from their range, which was infested with poison hemlock.
送来5只20周龄的散养火鸡公雏接受检查；该鸡群有流涎、震颤、麻痹和死亡率增加的病史。尸检发现嗉囊、腺胃和肌胃内有大量被鉴定为毒芹种子的种子。组织病理学改变仅限于卡他性肠炎。将火鸡从有毒芹滋生的活动范围移走后，毒芹中毒的临床症状减轻。
