In the last few years it has been discovered that sycamore seeds and young leaves to horses (the toxin is hypoglycin-A) A horse vet friend of mine has been advised to graze sheep over her paddock with many newly emerging sycamore seedlings. She has offed me the grazing for my sheep. For parasite control it might be worth swapping fields for a month or so......but are there any reports of sycamore poisoning in sheep including 6 week old lambs?
My friend is also doing more research but I thought I might ask via the forum.
