<div><strong>Background:</strong> The anthelmintic activity of <em>Butea frondosa</em> seed extract as an alternative to the synthetic anthelmintic against GIPs in goats was undertaken by studying EPG, body weight and hemato-biochemical parameters in the infested goats.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Methods: </strong>Goats (n=18) found positive for parasitic infection by screening at Goat Research Station (GRS), AAU, Byrnihat were selected for the study. Two doses of ethanolic extract of <em>Butea frondosa</em> seed @ 100 mg/kg (Group A, n=6), @ 200 mg/kg (Group B, n=6) and Fentasplus @ 5 mg/kg body weight p. o. (Group C, n= 6) were given on 0th day and 14<sup>th</sup> day. Faecal and blood samples were collected at weekly intervals for a period of 42 days.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Result:</strong> A significant decrease in the EPG count was noticed on 14<sup>th</sup> day post treatment. A significant increase in body weight and Hb, PCV, TEC, total serum protein, albumin, sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, phosphorus and significant decrease in ESR, TLC, neutrophil, eosinophil count, AST, ALT and ALP were noticed post treatment. On the basis of reduction in EPG count and improvement in body weight and haemato-biochemical parameters, it is concluded that the ethanolic extracts of <em>Butea frondosa</em> seed @ 200 mg/kg body weight showed better result as anthelmintic in this study.&nbsp;</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">The effects of feeding imidacloprid were assessed in the liver of Japanese quails and studied the effect of feed mix of Butea monosperma on ameliorating effect against the imidacloprid toxicity. The serum biochemical assay revealed significant increase in AST, ALT and GGT in imidacloprid treated birds. Histologically, the liver showed sinusoidal dilatation, bile duct hyperplasia and periportal necrosis. Ultra thin sections of liver revealed numerous fat globules, condensed hepatocytes and mitochondria with granular cytoplasm. It was observed that co-treatment with Butea monosperma moderately restored the imidacloprid induced changes.</div>
