The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxic effects of Cassia senna fruits in Lohman broiler chicks.
Chicks fed with diet containing 2 and 5% C. senna fruit for 4 weeks, thereafter the chicks in the two
groups were fed with control diet for 2 weeks. Depression in body weight, weight gain, inefficiency of
feed utilization and anaemia was observed in chicks fed with 2 and 5% C. senna compared with the
control diet. There were significant increase in the serum values of sorbitol dehydrogenase, lactate

Eimeria dorcadis Mantovani, 1966 is redescribed from dorcas gazelle (Gazella dorcas (L.)) from Saudi Arabia.
Oocysts were detected in 7 out of 22 faecal samples (32%) using floatation method. The sporulated oocysts are cylindrical, slightly flattened at the micropylar pole, measure in average 32 × 19 μm (27–36 × 16–24 μm), length/width ratio being 1.7 (1.5–2.1). Oocystwall is 1.2 μm thick, smooth, double-layered; outer layer is slightly thicker, light blue in colour; inner layer brownish, with micropyle

The possible effect of Commiphora myrrha oleo-gum resin was studied on
rats fed different concentrations of the crude plant. The plant is used in different regions
for treatment of various ailments but the toxic effect of this plant has not been studied in
details.
Methods: Commiphora myrrha was fed to rats at 2, 5, 10, and 20% of the basic diet.
Results: Rats on 10% and 20% Commiphora food exhibited depression, soft faeces,
abdominal pain and dyspnoea prior to death. Lesions were fatty change and necrosis of
