LAMB MORTALITY
POISONING FROM SORREL.
DR. JOHNSTON’S RESEARCH RESULTS.
(Per Press Association)
Invercargill, Nov. 14. Dr. Owen Johnston, superintendent of tlie Southland Hospital, who carried out experiments for a year to ascertain the cause of mortality in lambs, states that pulpy kidney is caused by oxalate poisoning from sorrel in the early stages of growth. The ultimate remedy would be to eliminate sorrel from pas Aires. This would take a long time but, in the meantime, farmers would require to have sufficient sorrel-free feed to carry the ewes and lambs over the four to six weeks danger period each year. Several farmers related fcicidents which supported Dr. Johnston’s theory.
