Poisoning in animals may occur due to either accidental ingestion of material eaten along with grass or willful consumption of poisonous plants when pasture is dry while most of these poisonous plants remain green all the year round. Poisonous plants cause significant annual losses of money by causing

Ahmad et al., 2006).However, it is well known that consumption of plants and plant products, of which the content and the toxicity profile and safe dose were not determined, by humans and animals may cause severe toxicity problems (A. Shirwaikar et al
disease control agent connected to plants, air contamination fallout, and a number of others (13). Despite A few people are essentially exposed to these contaminants in the workplace, for the majority people the fundamental course of exposure to these poisonous elements is through diet (food and water). The contamination chain of heavy metals very nearly dependably takes after a cyclic order: industry, atmosphere, soil, water, foods, and human. In spite of poisonous quality and the resulting about danger
