Abstract

The toxicity of Erythrophleum suaveolens in livestock management has precipitated attempts to obtain an efficient anti-toxic treatment. Tamarindus indica used for treating E. suaveolens toxicity in animals was investigated in this study through an acute and a sub chronic toxicity study on rabbits. Histological, hematological features, serum biochemical properties, and clinical observations on the rabbits were evaluated as indices of toxicity. Histology of the vital organs revealed severe pathologies in rabbits administered with the extract E. suaveolens while organs of rabbits treated with T. indica showed moderate and mild pathologies. Enhanced performance of the liver and kidnes, high WBC counts and RBC in the blood was observed in species treated with T. indica. Study showed T. indica’s attenuate effect on E. suaveolens toxicity in rabbits.
