Toxicity of Datura stramonium to sheep and goats
Abstract:
The toxicity of daily oral administration of Datura stramonium to Desert sheep and Nubian goats was studied. The main clinical signs were disturbances in locomotion, fasciculation, hyperesthesia, rapid respiration, and reduced water intake. There were increases in the concentrations of aspartate amino-transferase and ammonia and decreases of total protein and magnesium in the serum of Datura-poisoned animals. In this study Desert sheep appeared to be more susceptible to the effects of Datura stramonium than were Nubian goats.

Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
