Abstract
The removal of course lupin material from lupin stubble paddocks did not reduce the incidence or severity of liver damage caused by the toxins of Phomopsis leptostromiformis. Furthermore, sheep grazing paddocks from which the coarse lupin material had been removed showed body weight changes no different to sheep grazing normal lupin stubbles. In addition, it was found that 6-month old wethers suffered more severe liver damage than 18-month-old wethers, and that lupin material in the paddock remained toxic for a least 6 weeks.Keywords
