Abstract
This chapter is limited to a review of the food hazards as a result from accidental or deliberate consumption of large quantities of avocado, beard doughs, chocolate, macadamia nuts, xylitol, and raisins and grapes that represent significant risks to farm livestock and pet animals. Food safety hazards associated with animal feed can be biological, chemical, or physical. Each hazard is associated with particular sources and routes of contamination and exposure. Hazards may also be introduced with source materials or via carryover or contamination of products during handling, storage, and transportation. However, the role of water as a potential source of hazards should not be overlooked.
