Abstract
High nitrate concentration of grass was the apparent cause of the deat h of two cows and of sickness in other cows in a dairy herd, A degree of hunger occasioned by holding the cows in the yard for some hours fo llowed by a probable intake of relatively large volumes of grass withi n a short period or time was considered a significant contributory fac tor.
