Treatment Effect of Oregano Essential Oil in Broiler Chickens Experimentally Infected with Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli O27 with Emphasis on Hemogram, Serum Biochemistry, and Histopathology of Vital Organs
Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of oregano oil 20% for the treatment of broiler chickens experimentally infected with avian pathogenic Escherichia coli O27 (APECO27) -local isolate. Hemogram, biochemical constituents, and histopathology of the internal organs were assessed. Two hundred chicks -19-days-old-were randomly assigned to four equal groups; G1 (normal control), G2 (Infected), G3 (oregano treated), and G4 (antibiotic treated). At the 19 th , 20 th , and 21 st day of age, G2, G3, and G4 were i… Show more
