Malabsorption syndromes and sterilisation of the gastrointestinal tract by prolonged antibiotic usage will also result in the depletion of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors<sup>7</sup>. In herbivores, fungi growing on poorly prepared hay or silage containing sweet vernal grass or sweet clover may break down natural coumarins in the plants to form dicoumarol and cause poisoning. in herbivores.
