Cloves are the aromatic dried flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae, Syzygium aromaticum. This study was carried out to investigate and assesse the antimicrobial activity and efficacy of (S. aromaticum) against some chickens showing fever and discharge from nasal cavity. These chickens were collected from Riyadh market, Saudi Arabia during 2011-2013. Fifty gram of cloves (S. aromaticum) boiled in 1000 mL of distilled water were prepared and chickens in the cabinet were exposed to the vapor. The results of this investigation provided evidence that cloves (S. aromaticum) had treatment effect of the synovial discharge and antipyretic effect. White blood cell count of some sick hens was curried and sick hens were treated with steam clover for two to three weeks. Recovered chickens showed vigorous activity. Alternative herbal medication by the use of vapored clove against microbial infection was successful. The effect of administration of (S. aromaticum twice a day, the chickens were found nullified as the parameters registered a tendency to retrieve towards normalcy. These results substantiate the use of moderate quantity of steam from S.aromaticum in boiled water as offering protection for chickens against microbial infection. But these results need to be confirmed using available highly sophisticated technique. |
