title: The acute toxicity of Riedeliella graciflora in calves.
abstract: Three calves received 10 g Riedeliella graciflora dry leaves/kg body weight by gavage. Blood samples were taken immediately before plant administration and at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours later; serum ALT, AST, AP, TB, urea and creatinine were determined. After R graciflora administration, the calves had anorexia, profound depression and recumbency prior to death. Creatinine levels increased markedly until death. Severe tubular nephrosis was consistently observed.
