Ameliorative Potentials of Azadirachta indica (Neem Leaf) on Effects of Diclofenac on Haematological Parameters and Growth Rate of Heteroclarias

The uncontrolled release of diclofenac (DCF) effluents from the factories into the water bodies can cause physiological disorders in aquatic animals, especially fish. This study examined the haematological and growth responses of Heteroclarias exposed to six definitive concentrations (0.0. 4.0, 8.0, 12.0, 16.0 & 20.0 mg/l) of DCF for 96 h and evaluated the ameliorative potentials of Azadirachta indica (Neem leaf) through different percentage (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4%) inclusion in the fish diet for a period of 30 d.

Chronic toxicity study on neem, (Azadirachta indica) leaf aqueous extract in chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)

This study on chronic toxicity of neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf aqueous extract in chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) involved daily intraperitoneal administration of graded doses: 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg of the extract for a period of 18 days. Clinical symptoms of ruffled feathers, weakness, anorexia, depression, and dyspnoea were observed at 20 minutes post exposure extract-dose dependent, and death intervened on day 6 post exposure.
