Abstract
This study was done on twenty mature male rabbits divided randomly into two equal experimed groups of ten animals each . the first group regardes as controls and drenched (2ml) normal saline orally daily for thirty days . The other group were drenched (20 mglkg ) body weight of water extract of origanum vulgare for thirty days also . At the end of drenching period blood samples were drawn from all animals heart puncture and blood was analysed for total RBC count ; HB % and PCV% ; Total leakocytic count and blood indices of MCH ; MCV ; and MCHC were calculated in addition to blood smears were done to estimate percentages of differentical leakocytic counts. Results ; PCV% ; total RBC counts and MCH compared with control group There was significant increase (P≤0.05) in treated group in total leakocytic count and MCV and significantly decrease only in MCHC . Also there was only significant increase (P≤0.05) in nutrophils due to treatment
