Toxicological evaluation of Karnal bunt wheat was carried out in monkeys, feeding a diet containing 70% karnal bunt wheat, for 12 weeks. Blood was drawn once every two weeks. In addition to hematological parameters, total protein, albumin, alkaline phosphatase and transaminases were estimated in serum. The results of the study did not indicate any adverse effect in monkeys on consumption of up to 70% Karnal bunt affected wheat.
