An experiment was conducted to study the toxic dose of Mimosa invisa in rabbits. Six adult rabbits were administered with fresh juice of M. invisa @ 15,20,25 & 30g/kg orally. It was revealed that a dose of 25g/kg of M. invisa was toxic to rabbits and that a dose of 30g/kg produced acute toxicity resulting in death of rabbits. There was also an increase in the levels of serum creatinine and urea with damages to the liver, kidney and heart.
