Naphade, S. T.
The present work deals with the effect of homoeopathic medicine Mercurius corrosivus on experimental caecal coccidiosis of broiler chicks, which was induced by the dose of 50, 000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella. The treatment of various potencies of Mercurius corrosivus was given to four infected groups of broiler chicks. Histochemical analysis of intestinal tissue was carried out in different groups. The lipid content varied in different regions of the intestinal tissue, as well as in different groups of broiler chicks. The amount of fat in normal uninfected intestinal tissue was high whereas it decreased in highly infected and untreated groups. The lipid content in intestinal tissue of treated broiler chicks was relatively high, than that in untreated group. The effect of homoeopathic Mercurius corrosivus in this respect has been discussed.
