[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1613923, member: 12607"] Saw several herd 'outbreaks' over the years, all associated with baleage... most recently, a problem mainly with small grain(wheat, rye, triticale) baleage... large enough numbers of animals, and over a period of several weeks... they weren't a deal of one bale with a dead animal in it. A high quality product like wheat or alfalfa baleage, with high crude protein level will certainly support botulinum toxin production, if fermentation does not get pH down to a safe level. [/QUOTE]
