Poisonous plants grow in most plant communities found on rangelands and pastures. They are one of the principal causes of economic loss to the livestock industry. One major costly effect is on reproduction, which includes birth defects, abortions, lengthened calving intervals, and interference with oogenesis, spermatogenesis, libido, and estrus. Those plants that cause wasting, temporary illness, and other such effects can adversely effect reproduction livestock.
有毒植物生长在牧场和草原上的大多数植物群落中。它们是畜牧业经济损失的主要原因之一。一个主要的高成本影响是对繁殖的影响，这包括出生缺陷、流产、产犊间隔延长，以及对卵子发生、精子发生、性欲和发情的干扰。那些导致消瘦、暂时生病和其他此类影响的植物会对繁殖期的牲畜产生不利影响。
