Studies on the haemopoietic potency of albino rabbit fed some indigenous plants.

摘要

The present experiment was carried out to investigate the haemopoietic potency of Astercantha longifolia and Ipomoea aquatica in 32 male albino rabbits divided into four groups (including the control) at 6-14 weeks of age. The results of haematological parameters indicated that total erythrocyte count (TEC) and haemoglobin (Hb) values were highly significantly different (P<0.01) between experimental groups compared to the control, being higher in the experimental groups. Haematocrit (PCV) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) showed a significant difference (P<0.05) between the groups and were also higher in the experimental groups fed both plants. The other parameters studied (TLC, DLC, MCHC and MCH) were found to be non-significant between groups.
