Suspected primary photosensitisation in cattle grazing red clover ( <i>Trifolium pratense</i> )
Identifying a plant species as a cause of primary photosensitisation is difficult, and the aetiological agent often remains unidentified. The association between consumption of a sward containing <i>T. pratense</i> and the photosensitisation reported in this study suggests that this plant species may be acting as a primary cause of photosensitisation in cattle. This study highlights the need for further research to identify toxic elements in <i>T. pratense</i> and their effects on livestock.
