“…Consuming 1-2 kg of bracken for 10-15 months by cows leads to Hematuria (Van Metre and Divers, 2002;Panter et al, 2007;Lucena et al, 2011). A recent report indicates the occurrence of a similar syndrome in buffaloes and sheep (Somvanshi, 2011;Dawra and Sharma, 2001;Radostits et al, 2000).…”

“…contains a number of toxic piperidine alkaloids with coniine and γ-coniceine being among the most prevalent and toxic [10]. It is important to note that alkaloid concentrations and proportions can change significantly during plant growth [23].…”

“…Conium alkaloids at sufficient doses cause an initial nicotinic receptor stimulation followed by non-depolarizing blockade of receptor activity within neuromuscular junctions and autonomic ganglia [10]. The teratogenic effects of Conium alkaloids are believed to be secondary to a reduction in fetal movement due to their neuromuscular effects [10].…”

“…Ingestion of toxic plants is much more likely during periods of forage scarcity such as during droughts. If pastures and ranges are not adequately managed toxic plants can proliferate to the point that non-toxic forage is scarce, forcing animals to eat the toxic plants [10]. Many plants toxic to livestock have variable toxicity depending on the stage of plant growth.…”

“…Plants that are associated with intoxications in a particular geographical region are not found in other regions. However, a number of poisonous plants have been introduced into non-native areas and thrived to the point of presenting significant intoxication risks to people and animals [10,12].…”

Abstract. A large number of plants can cause adverse effects when ingested by animals or people. Plant toxicity is due to a wide diversity of chemical toxins that include alkaloids, glycosides, proteins and amino acids. There are several notable toxic plants for which a specific chemical responsible for toxicity has not been determined. There are many examples of species differences in terms of their sensitivity to intoxication from plants. Pets, such as dogs and cats, and people, especially children, are frequently exposed to the same toxic plants due to their shared environments. On the other hand, livestock are exposed to toxic plants that are rarely involved in human intoxications due to the unique environments in which they are kept. Fortunately, adverse effects often do not occur or are generally mild following most toxic plant ingestions and no therapeutic intervention is necessary. However, some plants are extremely toxic and ingestion of small amounts can cause rapid death. The diagnosis of plant intoxication can be challenging, especially in veterinary medicine where a history of exposure to a toxic plant is often lacking. Analytical tests are available to detect some plant toxins, although their diagnostic utility is often limited by test availability and timeliness of results. With a few notable exceptions, antidotes for plant toxins are not available. However, general supportive and symptomatic care often is sufficient to successfully treat a symptomatic patient.
