Study on the effect of nigella sativa supplementation on the growth rate performance and experimental infection by salmonella typhmurium in swiss mice

Abstract: Nigella sativa was used as diet supplementation in group of mice experimentally infected with salmonella typhimurium. It was found that mice that took diet with Nigella Sativa and experimentally infected with Salmonella typhimurium. Bacteriological examination revealed that mice of treated group showed no histopathological changes and regained their normal appearance, while those of non-treated group showed infiltration of liver with mature and premature leucocytic cells in the hepatic tissues, the heart showed leucocytic inflammatory cells infiltration in between the vascular degenerated myocardial bundles. Finally Nigella Sativa can be used in enhancing the immune system as well as it improved the growth rate performance.
