| Abstract: |
The effects of stinging nettle on immune response of broilers were investigated. Thirty birds were divided
into two groups namely treatment and control, each group comprising of 15 birds. Treatment group was fed
with 3% of nettle powder mixed with commercial broiler feed once a week whereas control group received
only commercial broiler feed. All birds were vaccinated against New Castle Disease (ND) and Infectious
Bursal Disease (IBD) with ND vaccine (Fl strain) on Day 7 and IBD vaccine (Intermediate strain) on Day
14, respectively by intraocular route. Growth performances of chicken and antibody titer against NO were
evaluated. Body weight of individual bird of both groups was recorded weekly. Sera were collected at the
end of 5th and 71h week oftrial. The haemagglutination (HA) and haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test were
carried out for ND. The treatment group (1709.64 ± 209.83g) was found to perform better than control group
(1619.33 ± 176.78g) in terms of growth performance as well as antibody titer against ND. A protective level
of antibodies was maintained in treatment group whereas control group showed low level of antibody titer.
This study indicates that nettle supplementation helps to improve immune status besides exhibiting positive
effect on growth performance. |
