Coliform counts in the cecum of birds receiving 1%
A. pavarii and 1% Z. Vulgaris were significantly lower (P 6 0.05) than those of control group from
early weeks of treatments, whereas all plant shows a significant lowering (P 6 0.05) of cecal coliform
count during the rest of experiment compared to control group. These results emphasize
the potential biotic role of such plants together with the immune modulating effects on treated
birds. However, further pharmacological and clinical work should be adopted in the future to present
an obvious understandable theory behind the potential beneficial as well as side effects of such
natural plants.
