A disease with jaundice, colic, and photophobia as main symptoms broke out among grazing cattle in Oshamambe, Hokkaido. It was demonstrated to be a plant poisoning caused by Daphniphyllum macropodum subsp. humile (Maxim.) HURUSAWA, which contained a toxic substance affecting the liver specifically. A cow and a goat died suddenly when administered with at least 3.0 and 2.7g/kg, respectively, of this plant (as doses of crude drug).
