* Ingestion of these compounds can lead to various health issues in animals, such as poor growth, reduced feed efficiency, and alterations in normal organ function and blood metrics.
* To mitigate these negative effects, strategies such as food processing, diet additives, and genetic modifications are suggested, while caution must be taken to avoid damaging nutrients through excessive heating.
* Treatments with herbicides like 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T effectively reduced toxic substances such as miserotoxin in Wasatch milkvetch and phototoxic compounds in spring parsley.
* The influence of herbicides on alkaloid and hydrocyanic acid concentrations is inconsistent; some plants showed increased toxicity while others showed reductions, emphasizing the complexity of herbicide interactions with different plant species.
* Organophosphate insecticides like dichlorvos, diazinon, and malathion caused respiratory symptoms, while fenitrothion led to nervous signs before death.
* Other substances included mevinphos linked to dead starlings, warfarin causing hemorrhages in a hen, cyanogenic glycosides from eucalyptus leading to the deaths of ducks and guinea fowl, and sodium chloride in ornamental dough resulting in diarrhea and nervous disorders.
