Abstract: SUMMARY
Seed of Adonis microcarpa (pheasant's eye) fed at 5.6 g/kg of the diet induced virtually total feed refusal within 3 d in growing and finishing pigs. It also caused vomiting, rapid and shallow breathing and death in a minority. These effects were probably caused by cardiac glycosides whose structure and effects closely resemble those of digoxin. Feed intake and growth recovered within 2 weeks of removal of the seed.
