A study was conducted to identify the immunomodulatory effect of Stinging nettle ( Urtica dioica ) and Aloe vera ( Al oe barbadensis ) in broiler chicken. A total of 240 birds were divided into 4 treatment groups with 4 replications in each group, each replication containing 15 birds. Treatments were comprised of no Nettle and Aloe vera (T 0 ); Nettle 5% (T 1 ), Aloe vera @5 ml/lit drinking water (T 2 ) and Nettle 5% and Aloe vera @5 ml/lit drinking water (T 3 ). The study was conducted under a randomized design. The immunomodulating effect was evaluated by measuring antibody titer against NDV vaccine; and by estimating the albumin, globulin and total protein upto 40 days of age. The effect on liver was estimated by measuring liver enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT). The hypoglycemic effect was estimated by measuring glucose level in the serum, and morphological changes in the spleen and bursa were estimated by measuring the ratio score of the respective organs to the body weight. Throughout the experiment, the value for HI titer, albumin, globulin, total protein, spleen weight ratio score, bursa weight ratio score, liver function test and blood glucose of all treatment group were non significant ( p > 0.05) except for albumin on 10th day, globulin on 0th day, total protein on 0th day and ratio score of spleen were found to be significant ( p ≤ 0.05) at 30 days in all treatment compared to control group. Histopathology of spleen and bursa appeared normal in all treatment and control groups. Result thus suggests that nettle and Aloe vera have non-significant immunomodulatory effects.

“…The results of the present study with respect on PCV were in agreement with Mmereole et al, (2011) evaluate the effect of dietary inclusion of Aloe the results of PCV count of experimental birds showed that there were significant (p<0.05) difference in haematological parameters among different diet groups, also Singh et al, (2013) had reported that fresh Aloe vera leaf juice (20g/L) significantly (p<0.05) higher PCV value than other treatment groups. Esonu et al, (2006) feeding Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf meal (NLM) birds fed diet with 10 per cent Neem leaf meal recorded the highest haemoglobin value of 12.0g/100ml, packed cell volume (PCV) of layers in the 10 per cent treatment group differed significantly from that control treatment group, similarly Ansari et al, (2012) and Bonsu et al, (2012) Obikaonu et al, (2012 fed on diets containing antibiotic and leaf meal had higher (p<0.05) PCV over other treatment groups.…”

Poultry farming is the raising of domesticated birds such as chickens, Duck, Turkey, and Gees for the purpose of meat or eggs for feed. Poultry industry is a fast growing segment of the agriculture sector in the world. Modern intensive poultry industry demands more rapid growth in a confined housing environment which leads to greater susceptibility to stress in birds.Poultry industry has made a tremendous and remarkable progress evolving from a small scale backyard venture to the status of commercial, full fledge, self-sufficient and

“…The present study results presented enhanced blood total protein and albumin levels in birds treated with Aloe vera gel in drinking water. The blood total protein and albumin had higher values in birds treated with 1.5% Aloe vera gel than the control, which contradict Singh and Koley (27) and Sharma and Singh (13), who stated no significant differences among the birds fed dietary Aloe vera. The contradicting results are probably attributed to the differences in the addition of Aloe vera wherein it was supplied in drinking water in the present study while Singh and Koley (27) and Sharma and Singh (13) included Aloe vera as dietary additives.…”

Phytogenic herbal extracts received considerable attention in the broilers industry as friendly alternative substitutes to antibiotics. These additives can be included in the food or drinking water to enhance birds' growth rate and well-being. Hence, the current investigation examined the effect of including Aloe vera gel in drinking water on the growth rate, biochemical blood indices, and broilers' antioxidative capacity. Cobb 500 broiler chicks (n = 120), 1 day old of initial weight = 48.6 ± 1.65 g, were divided into three treatments where the control group was fed the basal diet without including Aloe vera gel in drinking water. The second and third groups were fed the basal diet, and Aloe vera gel was included in drinking water at 1 and 1.5%, respectively. The final body weight, weight gain, daily weight gain, and feed conversion ratio were significantly improved in birds that received drinking water with Aloe vera gel at 1.5% compared to the control and 1% groups (P ≤ 0.05). The kidney (creatinine and urea) and liver (ALT and AST) function indices of broilers that received drinking water with or without Aloe vera gel showed no significant differences with the control group (P ≥ 0.05). The blood total protein and albumin had higher values in birds that received drinking water with 1.5% Aloe vera gel than the control (P ≤ 0.05). The total blood cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL levels were significantly decreased in the group of birds that received 1.5% Aloe vera gel in drinking water (P ≤ 0.05). The HDL level was higher in birds that received drinking water with 1.5% Aloe vera gel than the control (P ≤ 0.05). The total antioxidative capacity (TAC) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) showed higher activity in the group of birds that received 1.5% Aloe vera gel while the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) was lower in birds that received drinking water with 1.5% Aloe vera gel than the control (P ≤ 0.05). In summary, including Aloe vera gel in drinking water enhanced the growth rate, biochemical blood indices, and broilers' antioxidative capacity.
