- Abstract
Poisoning of horses by plants is a relatively common veterinary problem and may occur when the fresh plant is ingested in pasture or when the plant contaminates hay, silage and feed. In Europe, horses are particularly at risk of poisoning by Cynoglossum officinale (houndstongue), Datura stramonium (jimson weed) , Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort), Nerium oleander (oleander), Pteridium aquilinum (bracken fern), Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust), Senecio jacobaea (tansy ragwort), Taxus baccata ( European yew) and Thuja occidentalis (white cedar). For each of these poisonous plants the information given in this review includes plant distribution, conditions of poisoning, toxic active principles and clinical signs.
