Sounds about right.
100g in 500 kg is 0.2g/kg ,about the same as Eucalyptus oil.
I read somewhere that someone died by drinking a tea made with just a few leaves (estimate 5 g of leaves and 50 kg person)
that makes the toxicity of the leaves <0.1 g/kg which is consistent with the figure for the horse

I've done some work with oleander, specifically the toxic agent oleandrin and its precursor oleandrigenin. Oleandrin is a cardiac glycoside and it kills you by, essentially, giving you a heart attack. Not very nice. There are at least a half dozen related glycosides in oleander. They are not destroyed by boiling or drying of the plant material, extraction and quantitation of these agents was part of the work I did. Oleander extract was investigated for a while as cancer treatment (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11001386).
Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.
