Abstract

Levamisole is an anthelmintic drug commonly used for the treatment of parasitic diseases. It triggers immunity in livestock. The research was conducted to evaluate the levamisole (LMS) effect’s on growth performances, humoral immunity and selected hemato-biochemical parameters in broilers chickens. A total of 40, thirteen days old “Lohman” broiler chicks were reared up to 33 days with routinely vaccinated. The chicks were randomly divided into four equal groups: A, B, C and D (n=10). The group A was considered as control (neither vaccinated, not treated). The other three groups were vaccinated with Newcastle disease and infectious bursal Disease live vaccine on 15 days of age. Group B was only vaccinated. Group C and D were provided with levamisole hydrocloride (Hcl) at a dose rate of 3 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg body weight, respectively through drinking water from 16th day at twenty four hours interval for five successive days. Results showed that LMS treated broilers had significantly (p
