Perennial ryegrass toxicosis (PRGT) can be a serious and widespread problem in livestock grazing perennial ryegrass dominant pastures during the summer and autumn months. The condition occurs annually, particularly in southern Victoria, and in some years serious incidents of PRGT result in devastating animal losses.
The most commonly recognized symptom of PRGT is ryegrass staggers which can be seen in sheep, cattle, horses, deer and alpaca. Less obvious signs may include ill-thrift, especially in young stock, heat stress, scouring, reduced fertility and lowered milk production, which all contribute to production losses and animal welfare concerns even when staggers are not seen.

Using conventional allopathic treatment:   unable to offer any specific treatment for PRGT, however toxic pastures can be avoided with careful animal and pasture management strategies. A risk management approach on farms known to be at risk of PRGT will reduce the incidence and impact of the disorder.

Holistic treatment:  fortunetly, there is a successful treatment protocol that farmers have been using, if they know about it.  Firstly give oral doses of Vitamin C (powder and water) twice a day.  This will quickly help for any type of poisioning with all animals.   If you find a animal in a advance state of paralysis (staggers) you still can successfully help these animals.  Using the homeopathic Paralysis formula.  You can add drops or pills to water trough or oraly syringe or put drops on animals body or add with Vitamin C oral dosing.   If you can managing dosing as many times a day the better or quicker the animal will respond.  You will see a response after the second repeat dose of the paralysis formula.   If you have the Bach flowers Rescue remedy drops (shock) I would also use this to help relieve state of shock to the body.  Helps calm the animal as well.  Put 2 to 3 drops on top of head or body.  Can also add to water trough or oral C dosing syringe.
