تعريف ومعنى "staggers"

What is "staggers"?

Staggers is a condition seen in livestock, particularly cattle and sheep, characterized by unsteady movement or a lack of balance. It is typically caused by eating certain types of plants or fungi containing toxins that affect the nervous system. Symptoms can include trembling, muscle stiffness, and difficulty in moving. Staggers can lead to serious health issues and even death if not treated immediately. Prevention involves identifying and removing toxic plants from grazing areas and providing other sources of feed for livestock. In serious cases, supportive care and medications may be necessary to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
