biological response modifiers in chickens, Aloe (A.) vera polysaccharides, lymphoproliferative response to PHA-P and Con-A in chickens of polysaccharides administered group, higher response, higher humoral immune responses [total immunoglobulins (Igs), IgG and IgM titers] were also detected in treatment groups. Biomolecule administered chickens showed better feed conversion ratios and significantly higher (p<0.05) weekly weight gain, A. vera derived polysaccharides have potential to be used as immunotherapeutic agent(s) in chickens, Biological response modifiers induced modification(s) in the functioning of immune system and have unique effects on the physiology of human beings and animals, these substances also reduced the immunosuppressive effects of different remedies and simultaneously increased their effectiveness. In this regard, Aloe (A.) vera is considered as one of the promising candidate having immunomodulatory effects in different animal models, aloe has a variety of conditions including mild fever, burns, wounds, gastrointestinal disorders, sexual vitality, inflammation, arthritis, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Its immunomodulatory activities include stimulation of macrophages, which produced nitric oxide and thus showed effects on the antigen presenting cells
