Abstract
The present research work was conducted on 100 day old BV-300 layer chicks to
study the toxicopathological effects of repeated dose (21 days) of flunixin meglumine.
Layer chicks were randomly divided into four different groups each containing 25 chicks.
Chicks of group II to IV were given 10, 25 and 50 ppm of flunixin meglumine for 21
days whereas, group I was kept as control. After completion of 21 days treatment, blood
samples were collected for plasma biochemical analysis from right jugular vein. At the
end of experiment birds were sacrificed by means of cervical dislocation. A detailed
necropsy examination was performed and gross lesions were recorded. Tissue samples
(kidney, liver, heart, spleen, lung and intestine) were collected in 10% formalin solution
for histopathological examination.
The extent and severity of observed symptoms varied according to the
