Treatment of ovine annual ryegrass toxicity with chlordiazepoxide.

The results of pen trials indicate that sheep affected by annual ryegrass toxicity can be treated successfully with chlordiazepoxide. In the first experiment, 87% of chlordiazepoxide-treated animals survived a lethal dose of toxic ryegrass. In the second experiment, 90% of chlordiazepoxide treated animals survived compared with a 10% recovery of control animals.
