Vetnuus | Januarie 2024 16 « BACK TO CONTENTS The post-mortem findings included severe pulmonary oedema, foam from the mouth and nostrils (Figure 2), hepatic congestion, and hydrothorax. In October 2023, a farmer in Thabazimbi, Limpopo, contacted the Toxicology Section of the Department of Paraclinical Sciences to report the presence of a plant on his farm. To the best of our knowledge, there are no specific control measures. However, concerning chemical control, there is ongoing research in South Africa. In other countries, physical control has been used which includes cutting the plant at its base or hand pulling it out. If the plant has seeds, tie it securely in a bag and then burn it. Thank you very much for assisting with the project. We eagerly await your response. v 24-Hour Toll-Free Helpline: 0800 21 21 21 Article Verbesina encelioides-a potentially toxic plant <<< 15 Figure 2: Dead sheep intoxicated by Verbesina encelioides.
