“…These results are in agreement with those obtained by Ibrahiem et al [15] who reported that bursa weights were magnified by feeding onion to broiler muscovy ducks. Onions have a mode of action which is similar to antibiotics.…”

“…While bursa weights of normal chicks fed T 3 or T 4 were increased, T 4 and T 3 supplementation to dwarfs increased and decreased bursa weight, respectively 1984 b). The lack of a correlated response in SRBC titers is not surprising because the relationship of SRBC antibody levels with thymic and bursal weight has been equivocal (Y AMAMOTO & G LICK , 1982 ;U BOSI et al, 1985 …”

“…Humoral immune response: To monitor humoral immune response, the antibodies level against sheep red blood cells (SRBCs) was quantified by following the method of Yamamoto and Glick (1982) with certain changes as described by Qureshi and Havenstein (1994). Briefly, chickens were injected through intramuscular route with SRBCs (5%; 1 mL/chicken) after 14 th day of beta-glucans administration.…”

AbstractThis study was carried out to determine the immunomodulatory and therapeutic effects of wheat derived beta-glucans (purified) against avian coccidiosis. Briefly, beta-glucans from wheat bran were extracted and purified using standard procedures. A total of 250 broiler chicks (day-old) were reared at experimental station, Department of Parasitology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad for this study. At 7 th day of their age, birds were subdivided into five equal groups (n=50). Groups A, B and C were orally administered with graded doses of purified beta-glucans (50, 100 and 150 mg/kg of body weight) for three consecutive days; whereas, positive control (group D) was administered with vitamin-E at the dose rate of 87mg/kg; while negative control (group E) was served with phosphate buffered saline (PBS solution). At 14 th day post administration of graded doses, 30 chickens from each group were randomly selected and used to monitor cellular and humoral immune responses, while remaining birds (n=20) in each group were challenged with mixed species of genus Eimeria for therapeutic evaluation. Overall, chickens in group A administered with 50 mg/kg b.wt. purified beta-glucans showed significantly higher immune responses in terms of enhanced humoral and cell mediated immunity as compared to those of other beta-glucans administered and E groups. While, the immune responses showed by group A were comparable with group D. After challenge with Eimeria, the groups A and D also showed maximum weight gains with low oocyst counts and maximum percent protection against lesions in both caecum and intestine. On the other hand, a minimum daily weight gain with increased number of oocysts in chickens was observed in control group (PBS) during therapeutic evaluation. These findings suggest that the beta-glucans derived from wheat may have immunomodulatory and therapeutic effects against Eimeria infection in chickens.
