Abstract

The present article highlights the pharmaceutical and physiological effect of purified β-glucan from an edible mushroom (Pleuratus florida) as an immunomodulator on the innate immune responses in broiler. Also, mushroom glucan as a feed supplement significantly provides protection against disease. This article portrays the potentiality of β-glucan (mushroom origin) as an immunostimulant in poultry. {*Corresspondence to Dr. Subha Ganguly, Scientist, AICRP on Post Harvest Technology (ICAR), Department of Fish Processing Technology, Faculty of Fishery Sciences, West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, Panchasayar, Chakgaria, Kolkata, West Bengal, India - ganguly38@gmail.com}
