Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of Levamisole drug and Punica granatum dry peel against Ascaridia galli that naturally infested Issa brown layer hens type in multi concentrations in order to have best results, at 30 , 31 and 32 week of age, after taken 70 naturally infested hens then divided into 7 groups each one have 10 replicates . In this study Levamisole hydrochloride (Uvemisole )® was orally administered at doses (10, 20, 30 mg / kg ), also Punica granatum dry peel orally administered to another group at doses (0.5, 1, 1.5 gm / kg), both were given twice per day for five days, the parameters (Body weight , number of parasite egg per gram, PCV, Total Serum Proteins ) were evaluated in first day of each weeks .The results showed Levamisole and Punica granatum dry peel concentrations (20, 30 mg / kg) and (1.5 gm / kg)respectively gave significantly (p<0.05) improving in body weight gain , decrease egg per gram and increasing PCV and total Serum protein in weeks 31 and 32 , following the concentration (10 mg / kg) Levamisole and (1 gm / kg)Punica granatum which gave same result but lesser than above concentrations, while the concentration (0.5 gm / kg) Punica granatum didn't reveal any significant changes compared with control groups (non-treated) .The highest efficacy percentage appeared in Levamisole (30 mg / kg) group in each weeks, while lowest percentage revealed at Punica granatum (0.5 gm / kg) group per weeks. The result improved that the Levamisole in concentrations (20, 30 mg / kg) and Punica granatum dry peel (1.5 gm / kg) were significantly (p<0.05) improved studied standers for naturally infested layer hens with Ascaridia galli in weeks 31 and 32 of age after twice orally administration per day for continuous five days per week .
