Recognition of poisonous plants is very important since it is part of livestock managements especially grazing animals such as cows and horses. Plant identification and avoidance to such is the key solution to poisoning.
Here are five plant species that are poisonous to grazing animals:

1. Brackenfern- (Pteridium acquilinum)
2. Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa)
3. Chokecherry (
(Prunus virginiana)
4. Cocklebur (
Xanthium strumarium)
5. Hoary Alyssum
(Berteroa incana)
