COSTA, R.L.D. da et al. Intoxication of bovines by enterolobium contortisiliquum (Timboril) in Brazil. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2009, vol.58, n.222, pp.313-316. ISSN 1885-4494.
The present work reports cases of intoxication by Enterolobium contortisiliquum (timboril) in bovines of varied ages, in the city of Andradina-SP, Brazil. The affected animals are part of a bovine herd of Nellore and Guzera breeds, under extensive management. The intoxications had occurred during dry season, with low forage availability, coincident with fruting period of timboril, whose broadbeans are, apparently, very palatable. The animals presented extensive areas of injuries in the skin, mainly in places without pigmentation. After withdrawal from pasture and medical support treatment, the affected animals presented good recovery and new or relapsing cases were not been observed.
