Popis: | Rabbits fed Amaranthus retroflexus (redroot pigweed) did not develop lesions of renal toxicosis reported in other species fed this plant. In feeding trials using adult and weanling rabbits, A retroflexus did not produce indications of renal involvement in rabbits. In both trials, treated rabbits had increased weight loss when compared with controls; however, the weight loss was not attributed to a toxic effect, but to previously described decreased palatability of Amaranthus spp. |
