A case of onion poisoning in a cow.
Abstract Extract There are recorded cases (Cheeke and Schull, 1985) of onion poisoning in cattle and horses that have eaten onions, Allium cepa, but none in New Zealand (Connor, 1977). In this country pigs (Anon, 1978) and a dog (Smith and Ellison, 1986) have been reported as having been poisoned by eating onions. This letter reports a case of poisoning by that plant.
Allium species poisoning in dogs and cats
W ild and domesticated Allium species have been used for culinary and ethnomedicinal purposes since the beginning of recorded history. About 95 species of native or cultivated leeks, chives, garlic, shallots, scallions, and onions are present in North America, and more than 80 ornamental Allium species are available. All Allium species and the products derived from them can be toxic to dogs and cats1; however, relatively few Allium species are of important toxicologic interest. Table 1 lists the Allium species native to North America that are most commonly involved in animal poisonings.1 The
Monitoring and Optimization of Internal Grinding Process
Summary The grinding process is influenced by many factors such as grinding wheel characteristics, dressing conditions and, course, grinding conditions. Therefore, it is difficult to perform the grinding operation in an optimum state. In this study, in-process monitoring methods using power and acoustics emission sensors are proposed to detect malfunctions in the internal grinding process. In addition, a new internal grinding cycle featuring rapid indeed is proposed to minimize the grinding cycle time.
