Abstract
This article summarises the current knowledge of the pathogenesis and toxicology associated with bog asphodel (BA), which is common in wet upland areas. The plant causes hepatogenous photosensitisation in sheep and nephropathy in cattle. Government-funded schemes aimed at climate change mitigation and promotion of biodiversity in upland areas may have increased habitat for BA and therefore the risk of exposure by grazing livestock to BA, and joint approaches between those involved with these schemes and livestock farming may be required to maintain the health and welfare of livestock grazing these areas, without compromising biodiversity and other strategies for upland bog management.
