| Avena sativa | Aerospace | Oats can cause nitrate toxicity in livestock. Cattle are more prone to toxicity, but swine and turkeys have been poisoned on oat stubble. Grass tetany also occurs during periods of lush growth when ruminants suffer from a mineral imbalance. Oat hay is a common source of plant poisoning by nitrates. Evidence suggests that moisture on outdoor hay may promote bacterial reduction of nitrate to the more toxic nitrite (Kingsbury 1964). General symptoms of poisoning: 1- Cattle: a- cyanosis; b- death; c- gait, staggering; d- trembling; and e- weakness. (references) | |
