In this way they invoked and called to their aid the powers, as Dr. Barnes has remarked, of a Frankenstein, quite beyond their control, whose unbridled strength might give rise to frightful disasters; in their ignorance they quite forgot that the pro...

Aptamer-Based Extraction of Ergot Alkaloids from Ergot Contaminated Rye Feed

Ergot alkaloids are mycotoxins which can be found in food based on cereal-crops, due to a contamination of plants by fungi of the genus Claviceps. The ingestion of ergot contaminated cereal crops can lead to a severe poisoning known as ergotism. For food and feed safety purposes, the extraction of ergot alkaloids from ergot contaminated flour was investigated. For the specific recognition of er...

Effect of Rye Ergot on the Pregnant Sheep J

Milled ergot (Claviceps purpurea) sclerotia containing ergotamine (0\m=.\25%),alkaloid-free ergot and alkaloid-free ergot to which ergotamine tartrate had been added were administered to pregnant sheep, either orally or through a ruminal cannula. The daily dosage (administered as three sub-doses) of ergot sclerotia was 0\m=.\4g/kg body weight and, where alkaloid was involved, ergotamine was pre...
