Abstract

This study was designed to investigate carbofuran (CF)-induced pathological alterations in broiler chicks and ameliorative potential of Star anise against these anomalies. Ninety-day old broiler chicks were procured from a local hatchery, equally divided into six groups and were given different combinations of CF (6 and 10 mg/kg) and Star anise (6 g/kg). Parameters studied were feed intake, mortality, body weight gain, and relative organ weights along with some hematological and serum biochemical parameters. Results of this experiment confirmed a mitigative potential elucidated by Star anise against CF-induced toxicopathological, hematological, serum biochemical, and histopathological alterations in broiler chicks.
