      Document Excerpt: A PUBLICATION OF THE HORSE COUNCIL OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. Partnerships and collaboration are key elements for success in the 21st century. This brochure was produced by the Horse Council of British Columbia. It is presented here as a part of ongoing cooperative ventures between the Horse Council of BC and the Equine Research Centre. Is your horse's pasture free from toxic plants? Are you sure? It is important for horse owners to be aware of potentially fatal plants that could be present in your pastures. This brochure provides you with some simple ways to help avoid pasture poisoning, lists some resources available to help identify plants and offers suggestions in case of suspected poisoning. Provide adequate forage- normally, horses will only eat toxic flora if nothing else is available. If irrigated, keep irrigating throughout the growing season and fertilize regularly. Learn to recognize the symptoms of possible poisoning. Horse owners should recognize that poisoning can result from contact with several potential sources, other than ingestion of toxic plants. Contact your veterinarian or NAPCC( the National Animal Poison Control Centre). The NAPCC suggests that you be able to respond to certain questions. Sensible horse management can prevent almost all poisoning cases. National Animal Poison Control Centre( NAPCC) 1-800-548-2423. The cost is$ 30.00 US per case, including unlimited follow up calls in critical cases and a consultation with the owner's veterinarian. A credit card is necessary and be prepared to answer the following questions:.

    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Danger in the Pasture By Tamara Marheine Many horse owners don't give a great deal of thought about what is growing in their horse's pasture, but multiple problems can arise due to poor pasture management. One of these problems is plant poisoning. There are several species of plants that are quite toxic to horses, and to monitor the horse's pasture regularly in order to prevent their presence is very important. Other environmental changes such as moving the horse to a different pasture or introducing new members to a herd can cause changes in eating habits, which may lead to ingestion of toxic plants. Poisoning by a toxic plant can produce a number of different symptoms depending on the plant eaten, the amount ingested, the period of time over which it has been eaten, and even varies from individual horse to individual horse. It is often very difficult to diagnose poisoning in a horse primarily because many of the symptoms can mimic those of other conditions. For this reason it is important to contact a veterinarian as soon as a horse begins exhibiting any abnormal behavior thought to be caused by the ingestion of a toxic plant. Some symptoms include, but are not limited to, lack of control of body functions due to the attack by the toxin on the nervous system, disorientation, unprovoked frenzy, tremors, muscle spasms, and difficulty swallowing. In addition, the horse may show signs of colic( respiratory distress, excessive salivation, or may even suddenly collapse without warning. Nerium oleander is a shrub commonly grown for ornamental purposes in California and the Southwest. Symptoms of oleander poisoning include abdominal pain, profuse sweating, bloody diarrhea, abnormal heartbeat, and labored breathing. If poisoning by this plant is suspected, the veterinarian may try administering atropine, which is a drug used to relax smooth muscles in organs such as the stomach and intestines and increase the heart rate. Selenium is also believed to be a toxic substance in locoweed. Symptoms of locoweed poisoning include excessive salivation, aimless wandering, excitability, irritability, and disturbed vision. Treatment of this poisoning involves the administration of sedatives and laxatives. The most affective treatment is to remove the horse from the source of the toxicity as early in the course of the disease as possible. Nicotine poisoning in horses is usually as a result of the ingestion of wild tobacco plants as opposed to domesticated species grown as crops. Nicotine affects the nervous system of the horse, which results in symptoms such as tremors, incoordination, and finally paralysis. The yellow star thistle is a common plant in the western United States, particularly in northern California. This plant usually becomes a problem when pastures dry out in the late summer and early fall leaving the thistle as one of the few available forages left. The reason it is referred to as chewing disease is because the toxins in the plant damage the part of the brain that is involved in the control of picking up and chewing feed. The lips and jaw will take on a rigid appearance, and grasping and chewing feed becomes impossible. The best solution to this poisoning is euthanasia in order to prevent a long and painful death by starvation. Johnsongrass Sorghum grasses such as milo, sundangrass, and Johnsongrass are common in much of the eastern United States as well as the southwest. An acute poisoning( a sudden and severe condition) will result in flaring nostrils due to sudden respiratory distress, loss of control of urination and defecation, staggering gate, collapse, and respiratory arrest. Death due to acute sorghum poisoning can occur in minutes after ingestion. Equine sorghum-cystitis ataxia is the condition associated with the chronic ingestion of low levels of this toxin over a long period of time. Symptoms of this condition include incoordination of the hind limbs and paralysis of the bladder. The chronic form may be improved by removing the toxin from the diet, but complete recovery does not occur. Thiamin is a B-complex vitamin which is important in energy metabolism. Therefor it is believed that the toxic substance in this plant is a thiaminase, which is an enzyme that denatures or inactivates the vitamin, thiamin. Symptoms of bracken poisoning are due to the deficiency of thiamin and include emaciation( severe weight loss), loss of coordination, muscle tremors, rapid heart rate, and eventual paralysis. Fortunately this condition can effectively be treated with infection of thiamin over a period of seven to fourteen days to replenish that which was lost, and it is possible for the horse to completely recover. The symptoms of sagebrush poisoning are somewhat similar to locoweed poisoning. They include incoordination in the front limbs, excitability, endless circling, and overreaction to normal situations. The effects of this poisoning are not normally permanent, and complete recovery usually occurs after about two to four weeks of being on a nutritious diet. If a horse is to be kept at pasture, and pasture is intended to be the primary source of roughage( feeds that contain mostly bulky, course plants with high fiber and low digestible nutrient content) for the horse it is important to keep several things in mind. However, it must be noted that roughages such as hays have a higher nutrient concentration, because they lack the water content that fresh pasture contains. It is important to be sure that lawn clippings that might contain plant cuttings are not dumped into the pasture by neighbors.
