Ep. 064: Poisonous Plant Species Horses NEED to Avoid

On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr chat with guest, Dr. Krishona Martinson, Equine Extension Specialist at the University of Minnesota, to discuss how common it is for horses to consume poisonous or toxic plants, the most common toxic plant species that horses NEED to avoid - including how to identify them, how much of the plant is toxic if consumed, along with signs and symptoms to be aware of, and what next steps should be taken to help our horse if we think they may have been exposed to or have consumed a poisonous plant. Dr. Martinson also shares some useful resources for horse owners to keep on hand to better understand a variety of toxic or harmful plant species. Have a topic idea or feedback to share?
