Jatropha curcas seed, a multi-purpose medicinal
plant product, was fed at 0.1 and 0.5 to Brown Hisex chicks for 4 w to measure its effects
upon growth and the structure and function of vital organs. Liver and kidney function
tests included serum SDH, GDH, GOT, total protein, potassium and other serum constituents
in addition to total tissue lipids and hematology. J. curcas intoxication in chicks was
characteized by growth depression, hepatonephropathies and widespread hemorrhages and
congestion.
