| Shrnutí: | Grasslands consist of a wide variety of plant species, among which poisonous plants are commonly found. Herbivores generally neglect most toxic plants for several reasons, including low palatability. However, some poisonous plants or fruits are readily consumed, while the repellence of others may be reduced under environmental conditions such as drought or withering. Among toxic plants, invasive and exotic species represent a major and increasing threat to grazing animals. This Special Issue brings together current knowledge on plant-related poisoning in grazing animals, with a strong emphasis on real-world exposure scenarios. It addresses circumstances of intoxication, clinical signs, diagnostic approaches, mechanisms of action, and the identification of toxins and their metabolites. Collectively, the contributions provide updated information on pasture-associated poisoning in grazing animals, with a particular focus on horses and cattle. |
