Hay harvested from roadsides and ditches is often contaminated with litter that can cause obstruction when ingested by the goat. Look for toxic and nuisance weeds such as foxtail, which can cause mechanical injury. In alfalfa, avoid blister beetles which produce cantharidin, toxic to people and an...

Under laboratory conditions cantharidin was transferred from crushed blister beetles to filter paper. Twenty-one and 27% of the total available cantharidin was recovered from filter paper on which male and female Epicauta occidentalis Werner, respectively, had been crushed. Cantharidin was detected in ...
Cantharidin Content of Blister Beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) Collected from Kansas Alfalfa and Implications for Inducing Cantharidiasis Cantharidin contents were determined for four species abundant in northeast Kansas alfalfa fields.
