Lantana camara is known to be toxic to livestock such as cattle, sheep, horses, dogs and goats. [47] [48] The active substances causing toxicity in grazing animals are pentacyclic triterpenoids called Lantadenes, which result in liver damage and photosensitivity. [49]
The lantadenes are particularly well known for their toxicity to livestock, primarily for causing hepatotoxicity, or damage to the liver. A vast collection of symptoms have been observed in cattle, sheep, and other livestock including "weakness, severe gastroenteritis, anorexia, weight loss, jaundice, conjunctivitis, corneal opacity and blindness, ulceration of tongue, gums, and buccal mucous ...
