D. Chennells, K. Nelson, N. Penlington, J. Lock and P. Gill

Abstract
Ergot is a fungal disease, caused by Claviceps purpurea, and chiefly affecting cereals such as wheat, rye, rye grass, barley and triticale. Ergot poisoning has been known for many centuries. As well as humans, cattle and pigs can be affected. This paper describes a case of natural ergotism in growing pigs, a condition not greatly reported previously.
