Tinospora cardiofolia based herb extract was used to improve the haematological values that were negatively affected during the bacterial enteritis in the broiler chickens. Bacterial enteritis was experimentally produced in 60 chickens by oral administration of 2ml bacterial suspension of enteropathogenic E. Coli and Salmonella (109 organisms / ml) to each chick while 30 chicks were kept as control (Group C). Thirty out of these 60 chicks were treated with herbal mixture @ 100g/50kg feed for 7 days post infection (Group A) while 30 chicks were kept untreated (Group B). Blood samples for haematological analysis (Hb, ESR, DLC and TLC) were collected from each group at interval of 5 days i.e 18th, 23rd, 28th and 33rd day of age. The results showed that Hb in Group B was significantly lower than Group A and C at 23rd day of age while ESR value was significantly lower in Group B as compare to other groups on all sampling days. Significant lower no. of TLC was also observed at 23rd day of age in Group B where as there was no significant difference on other sampling days. DLC demonstrated that there was increased no. of Neutrophil, Eosinophils and Basophils in Group B while Group A and C showed same patterns. Monocytes and Lymphocytes were significantly lower in number in Group B as compare to Group A and C which was indicative of immunosupperssion. This study demonstrated that herbal treatment of infected chicks had rectified the immunosuppressive & anemic effects of enteropathogens.
