Abstract
Aqueous extract from sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum) juice and ethanolic extract from bagasse were used in the present study to determine the antibody response to sheep red blood cells and lymphoproliferative response to Phytohemagglutinin-P (PHA-P) in experimental chickens as compared to control. Results revealed significantly higher (P 0.01). Chickens of both the experimental groups showed better FCR and significantly higher (P<0.05) weight gains as compared to control. It was concluded that oral administration of sugar cane extracts showed immunostimulatory effects in chickens and resulted in the improvement of food utilization and decrease in the amount of food needed for unit gain in body weight.
