In that case, I wouldn't worry about it much... it seems to mainly be 
caused by poor quality feed that has had urea mixed in to up the 
protein/nitrogen levels.  I think it is primarily seen in dairys and 
feedlots, where stock is fed whatever junk the manager can get his hands on 
cheaply.

Julian,
Thanks for the info.  I do not have this condition in my herd.  I was
only inquiring because an older goat-man told me that my "ground is no
good, 'cause it will carry toxicidia".  Well, I had never even heard of
it, so my curiosity got the best of me.  Like you, I believe he's
talking about Ammonia toxicosis.  Thanks for the good info.  It is
certainly worth filing away!!
