AB  - The efficacy of amoxicillin and allicin in
broiler chickens was investigated in twenty apparently
healthy broiler chickens. The chickens were divided into
2 groups and treatment was orally administered in
drinking water for five consecutive days. Group 1;
untreated control, group 2; treated with therapeutic dose
of amoxicillin (20 mg kg<sup>&#150;1</sup> b.wt.) blood samples were
taken at the end of experiment, serum samples were used
for hematological analysis of RBCs, WBCs, Hb and PCV.
Amoxicillin produce significant decrease in RBCs, Hb
and PCV and significant increase in WBCS. In
conclusion, administration of amoxicillin (20 mg kg<sup>&#150;1</sup>
b.wt.) produces some hematological changes. Care must
be taken when used amoxicillin therapeutically in poultry
farms because of their adverse effects on adverse effects
on haematological picture.
