Abstract
Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the effect of aqueous garlic extract on some hematological characteristics in broiler chicken represented by total erythrocyte count (TRBC), hemoglobin concentration (Hb) , packed cell volume (PCV) , Erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR), Total leukocytes count (TLC) and differential leukocytes count (DLC). A total of 120 birds of broilers chicken – fawbro strain 0 were taken in one day then divided randomly into three equal groups, all groups were feed a commercial basal ration of broilers , the birds of group G were drenching 1ml / day of aqueous garlic extract of 50% concentration, the second group G2 were drenching with 1m /day aqueous garlic extract of 25% concentration and the third group, control were not given garlic extract. blood samples were collected at the end of experiment at the 8th week of age, then Hb conc. TRBCs, PCV, ESR, DLC, TLC, were measured and the results were as follow:- 1. A significant increased P< 0.05 in Total erythrocyte count in G1 & G2 groups compared with other group . 2. A significant increased P< 0.05 in Hb conc. In G1 group compared with other group . 3. A significant increased P< 0.05 in ESR in control group compared with other groups. مجلة القادسية للعلوم الصرفة المجلذ ) 11 ( العذد ) 2( لسنة 2006 44 4. A significant increased in PCV in G1 group compared with other groups, P< 0.05 while there was no significant different between G2&C . 5. No significant differences between groups in total leukocytes count 6. A significant increase in lymphocyte percentage and significant decrease in heterophils percentage in G1 group compared with control group, while no significant different between G1&G2 . 7. Percentage of Monocytes , Basophiles & Eosinophils were not affected significantly in groups. The previous result refers to the positive effect of aqueous extract of Allium sativum in 50% concentration and less degree of 25% conc. Also it has a benefit to the body immunity status by increasing numbers of lymphocytes that has an active role in immunity thus garlic serve to enhance human feed as protein and egg of chicken .
