Toxic plants that affect ruminants bother animal breeders and responsible for the animal production, also considering the fact that most of the cases are only of popular knowledge, without study and / or practices to decrease the poisoning rates. Thus, a research project was developed to learn more about toxic plants that affect ruminants in the region, talking to producers, veterinarians, animal husbandry or agronomists on farms.
