Title:  Acute Toxicity of Potassium Sulphate in Amami Rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi) with Reference to Biochemical Attributes
Abstract:  The aim of present study was to see how acute potassium sulphate toxicity affected Amami rabbit biochemical parameters. Protein and cholesterol levels in rabbits treated with potassium sulphate decreased, while creatinine and bilirubin levels increased. Protein (-5.5 to -20.0 percent), cholesterol (-6.7 to -13.3 percent), creatinine (8.3 to 16.6 percent), and bilirubin (2.2 to 6.7 percent) were also measured during the exposure period. The findings point to a change in blood serum biochemicals as a result of potassium sulphate exposure. These metrics are important indications of a live organism's health and stress.
