This study was conducted to investigate the effect of aqueous extract of Mentha longifolia supplemented to broilers on some physiological parameters represented by hematological characteristics . A total of 90 chick of broiler faobre strain from IPA center for agricultural researches were used at one day old . The birds at 4th day old , were randomly assigned into three groups . Each group consisted of thirty birds . The control groub ( c ) was not treated , T1 group treated with aqueous extract 1 ml / day of concentration 0.25 (gm / ml water) and T2 group was treated with aqueous extract 1 ml / day of 0.125 gm/ml concentration and for eight weeks . All groups were fed the same commercial basal ration of broiler and the same environmental condition and vaccinations were allowed to each group . The results of blood samples tests were as follows . Treated birds expressed high values of blood hemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume percentage and showed significant difference ( p < 0.05 ) compared with control group . The birds ofT1 group indicated high significant increased( p < 0.05 ) in total leukocytic count compared V with the T2 & control group . Theres is , significant increased ( p< 0.05 ) in numbers V of TWBCS in T2 group compared with a control group . A total erythrocytic counts revealed that there were Significant differences ( p < 0.05 ) between groupsln numbers of Red blood cells by increasing the number of red blood cells in treated group . These results refered to the benefit of aqueous extract of Men!/m /ongifolia to broiler chicken at concentrations of 0.25 and 0.125 gm /ml
