“…Tetranortriterpenes such as meliatoxin A1, A2, B1, and B2 are the most relevant toxic compounds identified in the fruits of this plant ( Oelrichs et al, 1983 ). Poisoning by M. azedarach mainly affects pigs due to the ingestion of the fruits ( Méndez et al, 2006 ), and the poisoning is rarely reported in cattle ( Fazzio et al, 2015 ). Intoxication occurs by ingesting ripe fruits when they fall on the ground or when branches are within reach of animals.…”

M. azedarach leaves, bark and flowers have been shown to be toxic, but the great majority of these cases occured from ingestion of fruits [37,40].…”
