==Acute hepatoxicity==
Almost invariably causes widespread haemorrhages in the body due to excessive consumption of the clotting factors in the damaged [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] coupled with failure to produce these factors by the damaged [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]].
===[[Blue-green Algae]]===
===Iron===
*the use of iron-dextran compounds to combat anaemia
*common in piglets which are deficient in Vitamin E
*produces massive necrosis in the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]]
===Cresols===
*from tarred piggeries and clay pigeons
*produce massive necrosis in the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] of pigs
====Clinical====
*jaundice
*weakness
*coma
*death
NB: former use of carbon tetrachloride as an anthelmintic and phosphorous as a rodenticide has produced [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] necrosis
