Dynamics of wbc indices in poultry following enrofloxacin administration: comparative analysis

Abstract

The goal of our research was to assess the effect of Enrofloxacin (fluoroquinolone antibacterial drug) on WBC indices of different kinds of poultry at young age. In order to study the dynamics we performed two series of experiments employing groups as follows: group 1 - control group (one-day-old chicks, receiving pure drinking water), group 2 - experimental group (one-day-old chicks, receiving Enrofloxacin via drinking water at concentration 200 g/L for 10 consecutive days), groups 3 and 4 were made with one-day-old ducklings, the experiment design was the same as with chicks
