ABSTRACT
The colostral and seral antibody titre was significantly higher in leavamisole treated group of buffaloes. Other immunopotentiator group differed non significantly.Levamisole hydrochloride can be used effectively along with vaccine in pregnant buffaloes to produce colostral specific antibodies.
