Phalaris Staggers : Prevention By Cobalt Bullets, Bryan J. Gorddard, P. P. Mann, A. J. Hadlow
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Less common is the use of cobalt for the prevention of chronic phalaris poisoning, known as phalaris staggers.
This condition is well known in eastern Australia, but only isolated cases have been recorded in W.A. no doubt due to the relatively small area sown to phalaris in this state.
