They were divided into five groups of six birds each. Birds in group I served as untreated control. Group II was administered with paracetamol @ 2 g/kg body weight orally from seventeenth day and till the end of the experiment. Group III was given silyamin @ 100mg/kg for 16 days followed by paracetamol @ 2 g/kg body weight till the end of the experiment. Group IV and V were administered with Caralluma umbellata @ 500mg and 2500 mg/kg body weight for 16 days followed by paracetamol @2 g/kg body weight. Hemato-biochemical observations were made. The cytopathology of the liver was also recorded in all the groups treated. Hemato-biochemical observations and cytopathology showed the reversal of paracetamol induced toxicity by Caralluma umbellata.en-USVeterinary ScienceAnimal Reproduction, Gynaecology and ObstetricsArticle
