Annual ryegrass toxicity (ARGT) is the poisoning of livestock from toxin contained in bacterially infected annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum). The toxin is produced by the bacterium Rathayibacter toxicus (formerly Clavibacter toxicus ), which is carried into the ryegrass by the nematode Anguina funesta .
Rye (Secale cereale) is a grass grown extensively as a grain, a cover crop and a forage crop. It is grown principally in an area from Eastern and Northern Europe into Russia. It is much more tolerant of cold weather and poor soil than other cereals, making it useful in those regions; its vigorous growth suppresses weeds and provides abundant forage for animals early in the yea
Perennial ryegrass staggers is poisoning by peramine, lolitrem B, and other toxins that are contained in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), and produced by the endophyte fungus Epichloë festucae which can be present in all parts of the grass plant, but tends to be concentrated in the lower part of the leaf sheaths, the flower stalks and seeds.
The Smell Test: Does the rice smell bad or off? According to Allrecipes.com , fresh rice should not have much of an odor, so if it smells sour or strange in any way, it’s not worth the risk.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revoked the use of Red Dye No. 3 (also known as erythrosine, Red Dye 3, FD&C Red No. 3 and Red No. 3) in food and ingested drugs as of January 15 ...
The second type of ergotism is marked by violent burning, absent peripheral pulses and shooting pain of the poorly vascularized distal organs, such as the fingers and toes, [16] and are caused by effects of ergot alkaloids on the vascular system due to vasoconstriction, sometimes leading to gangrene and loss of limbs due to severely restricted ...
[5] [1] This was determined by examination of bacterial growth on streak-plated 523M agar, incubated at 26 °C (79 °F) and 37 ± 0.5 °C (32.9 °F) after 3, 7, and 14 days. [ 5 ] [ 1 ] The organism has responded well to 523M agar, CB agar , R agar , and other basic media containing yeast extract , peptone , and glucose when grown at pH 7. [ 5 ]
Pythium disease, also known as "Pythium blight," "cottony blight," or "grease spot," is a highly destructive turfgrass disease caused by several different Pythium species. All naturally cultivated cool-season turfgrasses are susceptible to Pythium and if conditions are favorable to Pythium it can destroy a whole turfgrass stand in a few days or less. [1]
