    Author: Ibrahim IA, ElBadwi SM, Abdel Gadir WS, Bakhiet AO, Yagoub SO, Adam SE.
    Journal: Vet Hum Toxicol; 2004 Apr; 46(2):67-9. PubMed ID: 15080205.
    Abstract:
    Ammi visnaga seeds and Artemisia herba-alba shoots were fed to 7-d-old Bovans chicks at 2% and 10% of diet for 9 w. The 10% A visnaga seed was toxic but not lethal to chicks and caused a consistently reduced body weight gain, inefficient feed utilization, enterohepatonephropathy, anemia, and alterations of serum aspartate transaminase and creatine kinase activities and cholesterol, total lipid and uric acid concentrations. The depression in growth and damage to vital organs of chicks fed 10% A herba-alba shoots 2% A visnaga seed, or 2% A herba-alba shoots were less marked.
