Abstract
The characterization of the mycotoxicosis, “ slobbers” or salivary syndrome in cattle and horses, has led several diverse research groups into interesting and productive areas of inquiry. Slobbers has most frequently been associated with consumption of second-cutting red clover forage infected with the fungus, Rhizoctonia leguminicola. Slobber syndrome has reportedly served to limit the cultivation of red clover in some areas of the midwest (Gough and Elliott, 1956; Aust, 1974). Outbreaks of slobbers are fairly common east of the Mississippi River, and most are associated with red clover hay or forage. Some outbreaks of slobbers have been associated with forage grasses; however, no causal fungus has as yet been isolated (Personal communication, R.J. Cole, USDA/ARS, National Peanut Research Laboratory, Dawson, GA 31742).
