Intoxications and congenital malformations occurred in a Missouri swine herd in the late winter and spring in 1971. They were associated with the observed consumption of Conium maculatum which was growing in a paddock. Ten sows showed signs of intoxication in January, in March, 4 of the sows pregnant at the time of exposure farrowed 6 pigs with limb malformations and 34 pigs with signs of central nervous system disturbance.
