Abstract
By an elegantly designed experimental study the hepatic toxicity of dietary monensin was demonstrated. Reduction in the body weight was noticed from the 15th day of the commencement of the experiment. Hepatic steatosis was the consistent feature. The importance of the toxicity was highlighted and the need to caution the farmers in using monensin as a feed additive was pointed out
