Abstract

The efficacies of fosfomycin, thiampheicol and Nigella sativa oil were compared against experimentally infected chickens with E.coli O111. One hundred and twenty six 12-day old broiler chickens were divided into seven groups:1st group was control non infected non medicated , 2nd group was infected with E.coli and non medicated, the 3rd group was infected with E.coli and treated with disodium fosfomycin (40mg/kg b.wt), the 4th group was infected with E.coli and treated with thiamphenicol (30mg/kg b.wt), the 5th group was infected with E.coli and orally administrated with Nigella sativa oil  (0.025 ml/bird), the 6th group was infected with E.coli and treated with disodium fosfomycin (40mg/kg b.wt), in addition to orally administration with Nigella sativa oil (0.025 ml/bird) and the 7th group was infected with E.coli and treated with thiamphenicol (30mg/kg b.wt) in addition to Nigella sativa oil (0.025 ml/bird). The performance, clinical signs, E. coli reisolation, antibacterial activity and the effect on immune response of chickens were compared. The treated groups showed fewer symptoms and gross lesions than those of infected group. The body weight and average daily gain were highly improved in the 6th, 7th and 5th group respectively. The combination of Nigella sativa oil with fosfomycin and thiamphenicol increase their antibacterial activity. The specific antibody titers against the E.coli O111 were significantly increased in the groups which received Nigella sativa oil. The results indicate that addition of Nigella sativa oil with fosfomycin or thiamphenicol increases their efficacy, antibacterial activity and immune response against E. coli O111.
