An Evaluation Of The Toxicological Effects OF Azadirachta indica, Piper guineense And Capsicum Annum Incorporated Into Cowpea Diets (Vigna unguiculata)
ABSTRACT
The objective of the work was to examine the effect of
Azadirachta indica, Piper guineense and Capsicum annum, which are potentially
useful plant products for the protection of cowpea grains against infestation
by Callosobruchus maculatus. Equal proportions of weaning BABL/c Swiss albino
mice weighing between 12.16g -17.50g were fed with cowpea meal and commercial
rodent feed treated with powder of the plant products. The experimental animals
were allowed feed and water ad libitum for 72 days. Control blocks were fed
with the same feeds but without the plant products. During the experiment the
physically examined physical attributes of well-being in the mice were
satisfactory, the average body weight gain showed weak statistical significance
