[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1657667, member: 12607"] When we're looking at toxic or teratogenic(causing defects) plants... we generally anticipate that affected calves will all be aborted or born with similar defects in a particular season... not over the entire year. Generally, those plants will not be present all year round, or are particularly more toxic in specific time periods - or availability or palatability may vary during different seasons, so that cows are less likely to consume them, particularly during the phase of pregnancy when developing fetuses would be affected. Infectious causes of abortion are many. In this part of the world (western KY/TN), Neosporosis is the leading [U]identified[/U] cause of mid to late-term bovine abortions, but in other parts of the world, there may be other more common causes.
