| 中文描述 | 麥角中毒症是一種因為攝食到麥角菌(一種真菌)所含的生物鹼而導致的疾病。麥角菌會寄生於穀物與青草上。藉由在食物中確認到麥角菌來進行診斷。尾部有時候會出現上皮脫落(sloughs)，但這是一個不常見的症狀。若食物中含有濃度超過0.3%的麥角菌核時，會導致繁殖性能減退。經由移除受汙染的食物來做為治療。癒後的好壞取決於患病動物症狀的嚴重性。在非洲曾有一隻母豬因為吃到了受麥角菌汙染的穀類，而導致無法分泌乳汁。受到麥角菌汙染的高粱也曾造成小豬的拒食與死亡。診斷方式以食物分析為主。 |

| 英文描述 | Ergotism is due to ingestion of alkaloids of the fungus CLAVICEPS PURPUREA, a parasite of grains and grasses. Dx by identification of organism in diet. Tail occasionally sloughs, but is an uncommon sign. Concentrations of greater than 0.3% ergot sclerotia in the feed is associated with decreased reproductive performance. Treat by removal of the contaminated diet. Prognosis depends on the severity of the lesions. An agalactia of sows in Africa was caused by contamination of grain with C. FUSIFORMIS. Contamination of sorghum with C. AFRICANA was associated with feed refusal and deaths of piglets. Dx by analysis of the feed. |
