Description
Summary:This study was conducted to evaluate the hematological and serum biochemical parameters of growing New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits administered Panax ginseng extracts (PGEs). A total of 48 NZW growing male (M) and female (F) rabbits (24 each) were used and the experiment lasted for 28 days. It was carried out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD), made up of T 1 (0.0 mg/ml of PGEs), T 2 (200.0 mg/ml of PGEs), and T 3 (400.0 mg/ml of PGEs) which was replicated thrice and sex served as the block. Packed cell volume (PCV) (34.03%), red blood cell (RBC) (5.52 × 10 6 /μl), white blood cell (WBC) (7.60 × 10 3 /μl), and heterophil (34.00%) counts of the growing male NZW rabbits were significantly ( P
