Excerpt from Stock-Poisoning Plants of California The writers have chosen to define a poisonous plant as one containing some specific substance which, when eaten in sufficient quantity may pro duce a morbid, noxious, or deadly effect on the animal. When the result is only illness the effect is spoken of as toxic; and when death ensues the dosage is referred to as lethal. Merely mechanically injurious plants, such as some grasses, with prominent, penetrating awns, and those which occasionally cause bloat, like the clovers, are not included in this paper. The chief object of this bulletin is to summarize the present knowl edge and field observations of the stock-poisoning plants of the state. Although the total number of poisonous species occurring on ranges of California is large, most of the deaths among range livestock are caused by species embraced in relatively few genera. In order to bring to the stockman's attention the poisonous species most. Generally harmful on the range, the material has been segregated into three parts. The plants of primary importance are discussed in the first section. Then those of secondary consideration are presented. The third section includes the plants which are more local or which cause only occasional livestock losses. When discussed at length the material under the first two groups is treated systematically under the following headings: Description and distribution of the genus; description of species; nature of injury and animals affected; and preventive measures. Maps showing in detail the distribution over the state of the more im portant species, accompany the descriptive material.

Effects of Poisonous Plants on Livestock documents the proceedings of a U.S.-Australian symposium on the effects of poisonous plants on domestic livestock. The symposium was held at Utah State University in Logan, Utah, on 19-24 June 1977. The volume is organized into eight parts. Part I discusses poisonous plant problems in the United States and Australia. Part II contains papers on general topics such as inorganic toxicants and poisonous plants; the hazard of plant toxicities to the human population; and selenium in plants as a cause of livestock poisoning. Part III examines the effects of simple phytotoxins such as selenium and oxalate on livestock. Part IV focuses on the effects of plant hepatotoxins, including pyrrolizidine alkaloids, Artemisia nova, and Tetradymia spp. Part V deals with plant cardio/pulmonary toxins such as Myoporum spp. and Pimelea spp. Part VI tales up plant neurotoxins while Part VII discusses plant teratogens and toxins affecting reproduction. Part VII presents studies on other toxic substances. It includes studies on oak poisoning and pine needle abortion in cattle.
