Abstract:
Domestic animal may ingest toxic plants accidentally while grazing. Sometimes they get bored with the same regular feed, so, used to consume unpalatable weeds or ornamental plants growing along fences. The severity of poisoning depends on quantity consumed, species of animal, portion and condition of the plant, age and health of the animal etc. We often underestimate the danger from poisonous plants to our domestic animals. They might be so toxic that a small quantity can cause serious illness even death of the animals. Thus it is important to know which plants are toxic to domestic animals.
