Group GC-0 was kept as control, while chicks in group GC-1, GC-2, GC-3 were administered Lepidium Sativum in their feed at the doses of 2, 5, 10 mg/kg BW for forty days daily. Total Body weight gain, feed consumption, hematological and immunological parameter were studied and analyzed at regular interval of experiment. Total body mass, feed intake, and PCV and haemoglobin level were show statistical significant increase in treatment groups. Non significant values were noted in the TLC and neutrophils count and monocyte in all treatment groups as compared to control.
