Research on toxic plants must be communicated on a larger scale as much as possible to associations and communities of livestock farmers that promote the existence of this economic sector. The objective was to provide the community with a practical knowledge and identification tool on plants toxic to livestock and other domestic mammals, where based on basic research information from bibliographic review, experience of primary field data, provided by ranchers, butlers and farm managers such as ranchers from high Andean life zones, Andean as well as sub-Andean and low tropical zones, which includes the diversity of species registered with, common names, identification, taxonomic classification, distribution and habitat, and poisonings generated by the plants, among others. It also describes the plants in their function and the principles of toxicity, or type, of toxic according to parts of the plant or species. It is important to note that the solo presence of the toxic plant does not lead to poisoning. The conclusion is that toxicological and pathological effects produced by toxic plants in animals generate economic losses for farmers, due to the impact on low production of meat and milk.
