Plants Poisonous to Live Stock

"Plants Poisonous to Live Stock" by Harold Cecil Long is a guide created to inform those in agriculture about the dangers certain plants pose to animals. The book explains that there wasn't a lot of easy-to-find information about dangerous plants, so this book gathers it all in one place. It's meant to help farmers, vets, and other experts learn about plants that can harm livestock, what signs to look for, and how these plants can hurt businesses. The start of the book tells why it was written and speaks to the fact that it can be hard to tell the difference between safe and unsafe plants because it can depend on nature and the time of year. It explains that different animals react differently to different plants and that the risk of poisoning can change depending on the situation, like if there's not enough other food around. This beginning sets up a detailed look at poisonous plants, what they do, and ways to reduce the risks.
