Definitie & Betekenis van "trembles"

What is "trembles"?

Trembles is a condition seen in livestock, particularly cattle and sheep, characterized by shaking, muscle stiffness, and difficulty in moving. It is caused by eating certain types of plants or fungi containing toxins that affect the nervous system. Symptoms can range from mild to intense, with affected animals often showing weakness, lack of balance, and twitching. Trembles can lead to serious health issues and even death if not treated immediately. Prevention involves identifying and removing toxic plants from areas where animals eat grass and providing other sources of feed for livestock. In serious cases, supportive care and medications may be necessary to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
