NERIUM OLEANDER: IT’S APPLICATION IN BASIC AND APPLIED SCIENCE: A REVIEW

Experimental oleander (Nerium oleander) intoxication in broiler chickens (Gallus gallus).

Dried leaves of oleander were orally given at a single dose of 500 mg/kg body weight to 20 clinically healthy male chickens. Clinical signs of toxicosis began to appear about 1 h after receiving the oleander and included hypersalivation, vomiting, diarrhea, deep depression, and sudden death. Also, hyperemia in the combs and wattles was obviously seen. Electrocardiograms (ECG) were repeatedly re...

Experimental oleander (Nerium oleander) poisoning in goats: a clinical and pathological study

Dried oleander leaves at single lethal dose of 110 mg/kg body weight were administered orally to fivenative female goats. Clinical signs of toxicosis in goats began to appear about 1 hr after receiving theoleander and included abdominal pain, ruminal atony and tympany, frequent urination, bradycardia,tachycardia, tachyarrhythmia, depression, weakness and convulsive movement and death at the end...

Phytochemical analysis & Antibacterial activity of Nerium oleander

Nerium indicum [Family:Apocynaceae] is commonly known as Arali [Tam] found throughout India, and has been used in the treatment of cancer, cardiotonic, leprosy and skin diseases. Plant parts such as root, bark and leaves are used. The present study is therefore undertaken to analyse its phyto chemical constituents in solvents like Benene, Chloroform and Alcohol and to screen its antibacterial a...

Experimental oleander (Nerium oleander) poisoning in sheep: Serum biochemical changes and pathological study

Oleanders are drought-tolerant evergreen plants of the Family Apocynaceae that originated from Mediterranean countries. Two common oleanders are Nerium oleander and Thevetia peruviana (yellow oleander). In the present study, we aimed at evaluating the pathological effects and serum biochemical changes of oleander in sheep. Seven male native Iranian sheep (8-12 month) were randomly divided into ...
