Abstract
The chickens of local rocks breed were grown in the vivarium of the Institute of Zoology up to 20 days of age. Chickens were fed with standard bird combined feed for broilers. For studying the dynamics of hematological parameters of blood of local pockmarked rocks chickens infected with E.tenella and treated of Artemisia absinthium were divided into three groups of 20 birds each. Chickens of the first group were not infected (control). Chickens second and third groups were infected E.tenella with dose of 20,000 sporulated oocysts. The second group of chickens was not treated (control 2), and the third group of chicks was allowed A. absinthium 1500 mg per kg feed at the following day after the infection for 10 days. In the blood of chicks infected with Eimeria tenella number of erythrocytes, eosinophils, pseudo-eosinophils decreases and the number of monocytes increases (P <0,05). Decrease in the number red blood cells reduces the amount of hemoglobin.
