The goal of the project is tendency to prepare alternative method for treatment of parasitoses. In the project, we will select probiotic bacteria, which demonstrate immunomodulatory features on intestinal epithelial cells. Chosen „hyperresponsible“probiotic bacteria in interaction with organic or inorganic form of zinc will be administrated to chickens infected nematode. Morphological and immunological methods will be used for evaluation of the ability of intestinal tract of chickens to regenerate or to defend arising of significant pathological changes in affected foci.
