Abstract

The present experiment was carried out to investigate the efficacy of haemopoietic potency of indigenous plants namely Astercantha longifolis nees (Kuliakhara) and Ipomoea reptans (Kalmi) in 32 male albino rabbits divided into four groups including control from 6th to 14th week of age. The results of haematological parameters indicated that TEC and Hb values were highly significant (P<0.01) between experimental groups compared to control. PCV and MCV showed a significant difference (P<0.05) between the groups. Rest of the parameters studied i.e. TLC, DLC, MCHC and MCH were found to be non-significant.
