WARNING

Ragwort becomes readily palatable to horses and cattle when it has wilted or dried.  The toxins it contains however, are not affected by the death of the plant and remain present in the dead plant.

NEVER LEAVE CUT OR DEAD RAGWORT WHERE STOCK HAVE ACCESS.
ALWAYS CAREFULLY REMOVE AND PREFERABLY BURN ALL CUT  AND DEAD PLANTS.
IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE, THEN DO NOT ALLOW STOCK TO ACCESS THE AREA UNTIL ALL TRACES OF THE CUT OR TREATED RAGWORT HAVE DECOMPOSED.  TIME TAKEN FOR DECOMPOSITION WILL VARY, AND COULD TAKE MANY WEEKS IN PERIODS OF PROLONGED DRY WEATHER.
