ABSTRACT
The levels of serum retinol, total serum proteins, serum albumin, serum globulins, albumin/globulin ratio, haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, body weights as well as dynamics of A. galli (namely eggs per gram of faeces, worm establishment rate, total counts, male and female counts, females to males ratio, total worms weight and fecundity) were investigated in chickens experimentally infected with 350 eggs of A. galli and daily supplemented with 1500 I.U retinyl acetate. Forty, ISA brown chickens aged eight weeks were divided into four equal groups. The effect of infection alone was investigated in the infected chickens in group I. The effects of infection and supplementation were investigated in chickens in group II. Chickens in group III were neither infected nor supplemented. The effect of supplementation alone was investigated in chickens in group IV. The dynamics of A. galli was investigated in supplemented and non-supplemented chickens. Mean levels of retinol, albumin, albumin/globulin ratio, haematological parameters and body weights were significantly (p
