This database is a sortable table of plants that are toxic to farmed animals, compiled by The Open Sanctuary Project.
In this database, you’ll find a list of plants, the animal species likely afflicted by them, a list of potential symptoms, the toxicity cause of the plant, and a distribution listing searchable by region.
To learn more about other toxic or harmful things to protect individual species against, check out our species-specific “Things That Toxic To” resources.
Using The Database
While you can click through individual plants in this database to see more information, this database can be easily filtered to sort out plants that are irrelevant to your search. Use the filter button in the top left corner of either view to quickly sort the data.
