About This Book

A practical handbook surveys plants that can harm farm animals in Britain, arranging species by botanical family and distinguishing confirmed poisons from suspected ones. For each entry it summarizes observed symptoms, likely toxic principles, experimental and field evidence, and references to the literature. Introductory chapters discuss circumstances that influence toxicity, tests for suspected plants, eradication measures, and veterinary treatment. Additional chapters treat plant effects on milk and mechanical injuries, and the volume ends with a bibliography and index.
