Research paper thumbnail of Effect of Some Libyan Medicinal Plants on Hematological Profile, Cholesterol Level and Immune Status of Broiler Chicken

Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences

A study was conducted to determine the effect of three native plants from El-Jabal al ELAkhdar, (... more A study was conducted to determine the effect of three native plants from El-Jabal al ELAkhdar, (Libya) on hematological profile, cholesterol and immune response to ND vaccine in broiler chickens. A total of 1260 one-day-old male Cobb chickens were used in the experiment. Chickens were assigned to 7 treatment groups (6 replicates per treatment). The dietary treatments included basal diet with no additives (control), and 6 other dietary treatments (Arbutus pavarii, Salvia officinalis and Zizyphus Vulgaris) each of which was added at the rate of 0.5g and 1g/kg of basal diet. Results explicitly revealed that no significant change in TLC between the treated and control groups has been recorded. A significant heteropenia was recorded at the third week of treatment with 1% A. Pavarii 0.5 S. Officinalis and 0.5 Z. Vulgaris when compared to control group. However, the lymphocytic count show a significant increase (P≤0.05) in all treated groups compared to the control groups. Immunologically...

Research paper thumbnail of Effect of Arbutus pavarii, Salvia officinalis and Zizyphus Vulgaris on growth performance and intestinal bacterial count of broiler chickens

A study was conducted to determine the effect of three native plants from El-Jabal al ELAkhdar, (... more A study was conducted to determine the effect of three native plants from El-Jabal al
ELAkhdar, (Libya) on performance and cecal coliform count of broiler chickens. A total of 1260
one-day-old male Cobb chickens were used in the experiment. The birds were assigned to 7 treatment
groups (6 replicates per treatment). The dietary treatments included basal diet with no additive
(control), and 6 other dietary treatments (Arbutus pavarii, Salvia officinalis and Zizyphus Vulgaris)
each of which was added at the rate of 0.5 g and 1 g/kg of basal diet. Results explicitly revealed that
all dietary treatments had a significant effect on body performance of broiler chickens compared to
the control with the exception of the dietary treatment of S. officinalis at dosage of 0.5 g/kg that has
expressed noticeable reduction in body weight. Coliform counts in the cecum of birds receiving 1%
A. pavarii and 1% Z. Vulgaris were significantly lower (P 6 0.05) than those of control group from
early weeks of treatments, whereas all plant shows a significant lowering (P 6 0.05) of cecal coliform
count during the rest of experiment compared to control group. These results emphasize
the potential biotic role of such plants together with the immune modulating effects on treated
birds. However, further pharmacological and clinical work should be adopted in the future to present
an obvious understandable theory behind the potential beneficial as well as side effects of such
natural plants.

Immunologically, an enhanced humeral immune response was very obvious based upon the significant elevation of antibody titer at the third week of treatment for all groups received 1 % of the three types of plants. Interestingly , cholesterol levels were significantly elevated at the six week of treatment with 0.5 % Z. Vulgaris while highest decline in cholesterol levels were recorded in group that have received 0.5 S. Officinalis.
