Improved weight gain in pigs using levamisole as an immunomodulator
نویسنده
چکیده
Metho ds : Piglets (N = 1606) from a commercial segregated early-weaned (SEW) herd were randomly assigned either to receive one injection of levamisole within 24 hours of birth (T1 group), to receive levamisole once within 24 hours of birth and again at weaning (T2 group), or to a control group. Pigs were individually weighed within 24 hours of birth, at weaning, and at 7 weeks of age. Differential leukocyte count (DLC) was measured in the peripheral blood of 121 pigs before and after each treatment to examine the effect of levamisole on the proportional lymphocyte count.

The study evaluated the effects of Levamisole, Quil-A and Cinnamon on growth, hematological and immune parameters of marmalade cichlid. Fish (2.00 ± 0.02 g) were fed diets supplemented with 0.2% Levamisole, 0.5% Quil-A and 1% Cinnamon for 60 days and the control group was fed with basal diet. The highest weight gain and condition factor were observed in fish fed diet enriched with Levami...

BACKGROUND The estimated incidence and prevalence of tuberculosis in India are 2.1 and 2.6 million cases respectively. Immunotherapy may shorten tuberculosis treatments and improve the immunity of individuals as well. Hence we study the efficacy of levamisole (LVM) (immunomodulator) as an adjuvant to chemotherapy of pulmonary tuberculosis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A randomized, double-b...
