Abstract | ||
Toltrazuril which is a novel anticoccidial agent elicit an inhibitory effect on the isolated smooth muscles of both intestine and oviduct of chicken. It was proved that its effect is due to an antihistamine-like effect. Toltrazuril exerted a negative inotropic effect on isolated chicken's heart with a decrease in coronary outflow. The drug induced hypotension with increased respiratory rate. Moreover, oral adminstration of toltrazuril produced a significant increase in serum GOT, glucose, creatinine and uric acid. The drug elicited a significant decrease in serum GPT, total protein and cholesterol levels. Histopathological findings were discussed. | ||
