Specialty Expressions: Amaranthus

Expressions Domain Definition
Amaranthus blitoides Aerospace Prostrate pigweed is a naturalized herb found across parts of southern Canada. This plant accumulates nitrogen and can cause nitrate poisoning because it can accumulate amounts sufficient to kill cattle (Fuller and McClintock 1986). (references)
Amaranthus hybridus Aerospace Smooth pigweed is a naturalized herb found in waste places across Canada. Ingesting this plant has caused nitrate poisoning of cattle in New Zealand. No other literature references to poisoning were found (Duckworth 1975). Smooth pigweed (Amaranthus hybridus) has caused poisoning of cattle from nitrate accumulation. All the Amaranthus spp. listed in this information system are nitrate accumulators. In serious cases, poisoning and death can occur (Duckworth 1975, Osweiler et al. 1985). In one case in New Zealand, cattle were poisoned and one died as a result of suspected nitrate poisoning after ingesting smooth pigweed. The mucous membranes were brown and the blood was dark. The animals were unsteady. Postmortem findings showed the rumen to be full of the plants, but no obvious lesions were present (Duckworth 1975). General symptoms of poisoning: 1- Cattle: a- blood brownish; b- death; c- gait, unsteady; d- mucous membrane, brown; and e- nervousness. (references)
Amaranthus retroflexus Aerospace Redroot pigweed is a naturalized herb that is found across much of Canada. This plant can cause a variety of toxic problems, including perirenal edema in pigs. However, the nature of the toxic compound is not known. This plant can also accumulate oxalates to as much as 30% of dry weight. Redroot pigweed is capable of accumulating toxic concentrations of nitrates (Osweiler et al. 1985). Nitrates have the following LD-50 values (Crawford et al. 1966): 1- LD-50 1.0 g/kg body weight in cattle; and 2- LD-50 0.5 g/kg body weight in other ruminants. Acute poisoning occurs when forage nitrates exceed 1.0% nitrate (dry weight) or 1500 ppm in water (Osweiler et al. 1985). All Amaranthus spp. mentioned in this information system can accumulate toxic quantities of nitrates. General symptoms of poisoning: 1- Cattle: a- abortion; b- bloat; c- blood brownish; d- breathing, rapid; e- death; f- dyspnea; g- kidney, edema of; h- mucous membrane, brown; i- nephrosis, severe; j- nervousness; k- recumbency; l- recumbency, ventral; m- regurgitation; and n- weakness, posterior; and 2- Swine: a- ataxia; b- death; c- gait, crouching; d- kidney, edema of; e- nephrosis, severe; f- recumbency, ventral; g- trembling; and h- weakness.
