The effect of enrofloxacin and lactobacilli on the hematological parameters of broiler chickens

The study revealed the negative effect of enrofloxacin on the hematological parameters, expressed in a decrease in the number of red blood cells, reduction of hemoglobin concentration with the manifestation of anemia, a significant rise in the number of white blood cells in chickens and changes in the white blood formula. The simultaneously administration of L.acidophilus had a beneficial effect on weight, recovery of indicators of red and white blood, expressed in the accelerated recovery of hemoglobin concentration, the number of red blood cells and leukocyte formula compared to chickens treated with enrofloxacin in a single mode. Our studies evidence the need to reduce the antimicrobials, using probiotic preparations to restrain the negative effect of fluoroquinolones in case of their administration
