Evaluation of Effects of Enrofloxacin on Some Haematological Parameters in Broilers

Abstract

In the present study, effects of enrofloxacin overdose on some haematological parameters of broiler chickens were investigated. A total of 50, Ross-308 one-day-old male broiler chickens were used. Broilers (10 days old) were divided into four groups: Animals in Group 1 (kept as control) and Group 2, 3 and 4 were administered 10, 100 and 200mg/kg body weight enrofloxacin for 30 consecutive days, respectively. Samples of blood were then collected to determine the haematological values. Haematological parameters were determined manually. Results revealed that the RBC decreased in Group 3 and 4; the Hb increased in Group 2 and decreased in Group 3 and 4; the MCV levels were higher in Group 3 and 4; the MCH increased in Group 2, 3 and decreased in Group 4; the MCHC decreased in Group 3 and 4. There were declines in the WBC in Group 3 and 4. The results suggest that the oral administration of enrofloxacin at approximately 10- and 20-fold of the proposed dosage of 10 mg /kg for up to 30 days altered some haematological parameters in broiler chickens. Additionally, it was shown that the resultant anaemia and leucopoenia occurred in broilers.
