Despite decades of research, poisonous plants continue to be responsible for large economic losses
to livestock producers throughout the world. As the expansion into rural areas and the use of rangelands
increases, an understanding of plant toxicology has become ever more important. This book represents the product
of a wide-range of research aimed at solving the various issues surrounding poisonous plants.
Broader themes include plant biochemistry, toxic effects in animals and humans, and rangeland management
approaches to prevent poisoning amongst others. Individual chapters address plant animal relationships,
various classes of secondary plant compounds, isolation, identification and effects of these toxins on
biological mammalian systems and analytical methods, diagnostic tools and management strategies for
plant toxicoses in animals and humans.
This book will be of interest to researchers and students in botany, plant biochemistry,
veterinary and animal sciences, rangeland sciences, animal and human toxicology, and herbal medicine.
