          Abstract

          Diversas espécies de Senecio estão amplamente difundidas nas pastagens de propriedades rurais do Sul do Brasil. Criadores dessa região relatam quedas nos índices reprodutivos dos rebanhos bovinos, muitas vezes de causas não determinadas. Várias plantas tóxicas são capazes de causar alterações reprodutivas diretas e indiretas em bovinos em diversos países, incluindo o Brasil, no entanto seus mecanismos patogenéticos ainda são pouco compreendidos. O objetivo desse trabalho é descrever lesões ovarianas em vacas com seneciose crônica proveniente de propriedades rurais da mesorregião Sudoeste Rio-grandense. Foram estudados 21 casos positivos de seneciose crônica diagnosticados entre 2011 e 2014. O estudo revelou que a seneciose crônica é a principal causa de morte de bovinos adultos na região. Quatro vacas prenhes apresentaram lesões hepáticas clássicas da intoxicação por Senecio spp. Essas vacas tiveram seus ovários avaliados histologicamente e células luteínicas grandes (CLG) desses ovários apresentavam megalocitose e pseudoinclusões nucleares. Algumas CLG apresentaram núcleos com até 23,69μm de diâmetro e o aumento no tamanho desses núcleos foi significativamente maior que os de vacas controle. Conclui-se que a intoxicação por Senecio spp. causa alterações ovarianas em vacas e é possível que a intoxicação cause perdas reprodutivas nos rebanhos bovinas da região.

          Translated abstract

          Several species of Senecio are widely distributed on pasture lands in Southern Brazil. Farmers from this region are known to complain about declines in reproductive rates in cattl from undetermined causes. Several poisonous plants can cause direct and indirect reproductive disorders in cattle in several countries, including Brazil. However, their pathogenetic mechanisms are still poorly understood. The aim of this study is to describe ovarian lesions in cows with chronic seneciosis, from farms located in the Southwest Mesoregion of Rio Grande do Sul, a southern state in Brazil. Twenty-one cases of bovine chronic seneciosis diagnosed between 2011 and 2014 were analyzed. The study showed that chronic seneciosis is the major cause of death in adult cattle in the region. Four pregnant cows showing classical necropsy large luteal cells (LLG) from the ovaries of these four cows had marked megalocytosis and nuclear pseudo-inclusions. Some LLG showed nuclei with up to 23.69μm in diameter and the increase in size of these nuclei was significantly greater than measured those of control cows. It is concluded that the ingestion Senecio spp. induces ovarian changes in cows and the intoxication should be considered as a possible cause of reproductive failure in cattle herds from this region.

            A review of poisonous plants that cause reproductive failure and malformations in the ruminants of Brazil.

            The objective of this review is to provide a report on toxic plants causing reproductive problems in ruminants in Brazil. Aspidosperma pyrifolium causes abortion or stillbirth in goats, as well as most likely in sheep and cattle, in the semiarid regions of Northeastern Brazil. Intoxications by Ateleia glazioveana, Tetrapterys acutifolia and T. multiglandulosa result in abortion and neonatal mortality in cattle and sheep, and the same signs have been experimentally observed in goats. These three plants can also cause cardiac fibrosis and a nervous disease with spongiosis of the central nervous system. Other plants known to cause abortion include Enterolobium contortisiliquum, E. gummiferum, Stryphnodendron coriaceum, S. obovatum and S. fissuratum. These plants can also cause digestive signs and photosensitization. Abortions have been reported in animals intoxicated by nitrates and nitrites as well. Infertility, abortions and the birth of weak offspring have been reported in animals intoxicated by plants containing swainsonine, including Ipomoea spp., Turbina cordata and Sida carpinifolia. Trifolium subterraneum causes estrogenism in cattle. Mimosa tenuiflora and, most likely, M. ophthalmocentra cause malformations and embryonic mortality in goats, sheep and cattle in the semiarid regions of Northeastern Brazil.
