Abstract
Present study was carriedout to explore the
immunomodulatory activity of Allium sativum
against Newcastle disease in native poultry
birds. Five groups of fty birds were divided
equally and T1 and T2 group served as negative
and positive control whereas T3, T4 and T5
groups were supplemented with 0.5, 1.5 and 3.0
% of A. sativum bulb powder in feed from 15th
day to four months. Vaccination was carried out
on 15th and on 90th day using commercial oral
pellet vaccine. Blood samples were collected
on 15th, 45th, 90th and 112th day and HI assay
was carried out. The results have revealed that
A.sativum groups produced signi cant HI titre
than the control groups, hence it can be used as
an immunomodulating agent in native poultry
birds
