Abstract

The extractability percentage of the ethanolic extract of Nigella sativa was 21.70 %. The herbal tablet was then used to treat naturally infected goats with PPR.The immunomodulatory tablet prepared from ethanolic seed extract of Nigella sativa has reduced the recovery period in goats in PPR infection. The direct compression process was used to prepare the Nigella sativa herbal tablet. The compressed formulation was evaluated based on several criteria, including friability, hardness, thickness, weight fluctuation, and appearance The tablet feeding shows improvement in PPR infected goats. Hence, this therapy can be used as supportive/immunomodulatory therapy along with conventional therapy.
