Abstract

In vivo study was carried out to study the therapeutic efficacy of Nicobarese ethno veterinary medicinal practice for eye infection in rural poultry prepared from herbal plants. In house herbal formulation was prepared using extracts of Glycosmis pentaphylla and Spondias pinnata and its antibacterial sensitivity against Salmonella spp. isolate from ocular infection of rural poultry. It was reported that significant effect of the plant extract on the isolated bacteria. Hence, it can be inferred that the herbal formulation can serve as an alternative to quinolone group of antibiotics for the treatment of conjunctivitis in rural poultry production.
