“…The results of this trial were similar to those obtained by Springhall and Seawright (1972) who demonstrated with A . ochrofeuca, which is closely related to A. mexicana, that as little as 0.5% significantly depressed growth of chickens within the first 3 weeks of life.…”

“…In contrast to the above, Springhall and Seawright (1972) reported the absence of both macroscopic and microscopic lesions even when as much as 4% of A. ochrofeuca seed was fed to chickens within the first 3 weeks of life.…”

“…It is unlikely that this would have enhanced its toxicity since the intact seeds are small and soft and would readily be digested. In fact, Springhall and Seawright (1972) reported that ground A. ochroleuca seed when stored for 6 months in a screw-top bottle was then completely nontoxic when fed to chickens.…”

Ground Mexican poppy (Argemone mexicana) seed produced growth depression, oedema and death when fed at 1% and 3% of a basal ration to day-old, layer strain, cockerel chickens. The mortality rate was increased by raising the sodium chloride content of the basal ration from 0.18% to 1.68%. Clinical signs consisted of subcutaneous oedema, a high pitched chirp and terminal gasping. Hydropericardium, oedema of the lungs, and subcutaneous oedema of the thorax, abdomen, wings, neck and throat were the major lesions. Foci of calcificaton were present in the ventricular myocardium of some chickens fed 3% A. mexicana.
