- The study investigates the safety and toxicity of snail slime by following OECD 425 guidelines, focusing on its acute toxicity effects in Wistar rats.
- Eighteen rats were divided into control and treatment groups, receiving either 2000 mg/kg or 5000 mg/kg of the slime extract, and observed over 14 days for behavioral changes and organ health.
- Results showed no deaths or significant behavioral changes, but mild cellular distortions in vital organs were noted, indicating that while the slime extract is relatively low toxic, further research is necessary before using it in traditional medicine.
The study was carried out to determine the chemical composition of composite pellets of Megathyrsus maximus containing Leucaena leucocephala seed meal at the varying level and growth responses, as well as haematological and serum biochemical of rabbits, fed the pellets for 60 days. The treatment consists of M. maximus and L.
