Abstract The grass Trisetum flavescens (golden oat grass, Goldhafer) causes soft tissue calcification in cattle and in sheep. The calcinogenic principle of the plant is the active vitamin D steroid hormone 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3, the major physiological regulator of calcium homeostasis in higher animals. From comparison with synthetic vitamin D metabolites in different bioassays, it is concluded that T. flavescens contains the 25-glucoside of 1,25(OH)2D3. This compound, or rather the 1,25(OH)2D3 liberated by ruminal fluid, is the calcinogenic factor of the grass.
