title: The relationship of Oxytropis sericea (green and dry) and Astragalus lentiginosus with high mountain disease in cattle.
abstract: All calves fed locoweed (green and dry Oxytropis sericea Nutt and dry Astragalus lentiginosus Dougl) at high elevation developed clinical signs, gross and microscopic lesions of congestive right heart failure. Clinical signs and microscopic lesions of locoweed intoxication were also evident. Control calves did not develop the clinical signs, gross or microscopic lesions demonstrated in the locoweed fed calves.
