The Incidence Of Lupinosis In Sheep Grazing Phomopsis-Resistant Lupin Stubbles, Peter Morcombe, Jeremy Allen Jan 1990

The Incidence Of Lupinosis In Sheep Grazing Phomopsis-Resistant Lupin Stubbles, Peter Morcombe, Jeremy Allen

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Lupinosis is one of the major diseases of grazing livestock in Western Australia. It occurs when animals graze lupin stubble containing toxins produced by the fungus Phomopsis leptostromiformis. The Department of Agriculture has recently released new cultivars of Lupinus angustifolius which are more resistant to colonization by Phomopsis, and therefore develop less toxicity, than those previously available (Cowling et al. 1988). The new cultivars - Gungurru and Yorrel - are called Phomopsis-resistant, however their resistance is only moderate. The old cultivars are referred to as Phomopsis-susceptible.

Current research on lupinosis continues to reveal what a complex problem it is, but the improved understanding should help to reduce losses.


Lupinosis And Rates Of Stocking Of Lupin Stubbles, K P. Croker, J. G. Allen, C. R. Lester, R. B. Guthrie Jan 1975

Lupinosis And Rates Of Stocking Of Lupin Stubbles, K P. Croker, J. G. Allen, C. R. Lester, R. B. Guthrie

Lupin stubbles provide valuable summer sheep feed but under some conditions the fungus Phomopsis rossiana (for which lupins are the host plant) produces a toxin that causes lupinosis. Results from research at Badaingarra Research Station over the 1973-74 and 1974- 75 summers have shown that sheep liver damage associated with lupin stubble grazing is likely to be more severe at high than low stocking rates.

Lupins In Western Australia. 5. The Grazing Value Of Green And Mature Lupins, John Sylvester Gladstones

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

WHETHER or not lupins are grown primarily as a grain crop, grazing of standing crops and harvested stubbles will continue to be an important use. This article examines the uses of sweet lupins for forage, and the main problem of lupin grazing, lupinosis.


Recent Advances In Lupinosis Research, M R. Gardiner Jan 1964

Recent Advances In Lupinosis Research, M R. Gardiner

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

BECAUSE of the important role which lupins play in light land development, flock losses from the effects of lupinosis must inevitably continue to be a matter of serious concern.

However, research carried out during the last four years has considerably advanced our knowledge of the fundamental nature of this disease and of the way in which it may be prevented or controlled.


A Survey Of The Incidence Of Lupinosis In Sheep In The Dandaragan District In 1959, H G. Neil, W. J. Toms, C. M. Ralph Jan 1960

A Survey Of The Incidence Of Lupinosis In Sheep In The Dandaragan District In 1959, H G. Neil, W. J. Toms, C. M. Ralph

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

FOLLOWING widespread losses of sheep grazing on dry lupins, a survey of flockowners' experience with the disease was made by the Department of Agriculture in one of the districts most affected.

The idea of a survey originated from discussions with the President, Mr. K. E. Jones, and several other members of the Dandaragan Pasture Improvement Group.

The information obtained from the survey has provided a valuable factual basis for the design of laboratory and field experiments.

Lupinosis In Sheep. 1. Laboratory Studies, M R. Gardiner, M. C. Nottle

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

IN earlier articles by Bennetts (1957, 1960), the clinical and pathological features of lupinosis, as seen in field outbreaks, were described.

The suggestion was made that the roughage portion of the lupin plants was responsible for the disease.

More recent observations suggest a relationship between parasitism and lupinosis.
