Twenty mares were poisoned after consuming ground corn contaminated with 8% of\n                    <jats:italic>C.\u2003occidentalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    seeds. Of the 20 animals affected, 12 died: 8 mares were found dead, 2 died 6\u2003h after the onset of clinical signs compatible with hepatic encephalopathy and the 2 other animals were subjected to euthanasia 12\u2003h after the onset of the clinical signs. The remaining 8 mares presented with mild depression and decreased appetite, but improved with treatment and no clinical sequelae were observed. In 6 animals that underwent a necropsy, an enhanced hepatic lobular pattern was noted and within the large intestine, a large number of seeds were consistently observed. Hepatocellular pericentrolobular necrosis and cerebral oedema were the main histological findings. In one mare, there was mild multifocal semimembranosus rhabdomyocytic necrosis and haemorrhage. Seeds collected from intestinal contents and sifted from the culpable feedstuff were planted. Examination of the leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds of the resultant plants identified\n                    <jats:italic>C.\u2003occidentalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
