Abstract
Growth and toxicological effects of sweet detar, Detarium microcarpum was investigated on albino rat for four (4) weeks. Thirty five (35) rats of four weeks old were randomly distributed into five dietary treatment groups of seven per group and fed with Detarium microcarpum mesocarp and seed as supplement in their meal in the following ratio: Mesocarp 1:2 Rat feed (M1:2R), Mesocarp 2:1 Rat feed (M2:1R), Seed 1:2 Rat feed (S1:2R), Seed 2:1 Rat feed (S2:1R) and control (Rat feed only) for four weeks. At the end of the experiment, growth of rats was compared. Furthermore, the rats’ liver and kidney function indices tests were carried out to ascertain its safety. The results revealed that D. microcarpum fruit supplement, did not support growth except in group A (M1:2R), which had little growth while the liver and kidney indices tests showed that the fruit is not save for consumption.
