The disease produced by feeding chickens and ducks a commercial poultry feed containing heliotrine and lasiocarpine, pyrrolizidine alkaloids of Heliotropium europaeum, is described. Illthrift, ascites and degenerative lesions in the liver were the major findings. Similar lesions occurred in chickens fed a diet containing H. europaeum. The source of the alkaloids in commercial poultry feed was probably the seeds of H. europaeum harvested with wheat.
本文描述了给鸡鸭喂食一种含有天芥菜碱和倒千里光碱（欧洲天芥菜的吡咯里西啶生物碱）的商业家禽饲料所引发的疾病。生长迟缓、腹水以及肝脏的退行性病变是主要的发现。在喂食含有欧洲天芥菜日粮的鸡身上也出现了类似病变。商业家禽饲料中生物碱的来源可能是与小麦一起收获的欧洲天芥菜种子。
