Ciprofloxacin was administered intramuscularly at 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg kg-1 b.w. doses to different groups of Ranikhet La Sota and SRBC inoculated broiler chicks. The immune status and growth parameters were studied. Ciprofloxacin in all dose levels tested showed significant reduction in antibody titre against La Sota and SRBC: but did not produce any significant effect on cumulative feed intake, feed efficiency and body weight gain.
