Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Anti-helminthic drugs (Albendazole and Levamisole) trials were conducted on Indian Peafowls (n = 20) kept at Jallo Wildlife Park, Lahore, Pakistan for 15. Sampling was conducted on days 7 and 15 of treatments. The results showed that the WBC count was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in both samples in response to Levamisole treatment. Haemoglobin (HGB) and Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) concentration increased significantly (P < 0.05) in response to both treatments; however, Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH) decreased significantly (P < 0.05) in Albendazole-treated birds on both the sampling days compared to the control. Red Blood Cell Distribution Width-Standard Deviation (RDW-SD) decreased significantly (P < 0.05) in all treatment groups. On the other hand, the prevalence of eggs per gram (EPG) was reduced by 20% after the application of Levamisole on days 7 and 15. It was concluded that both drugs had significant effects on WBCs, HGB, MCH, MCHC and RDW-SD.
