In secondary steps amantadine (orally) with dose of 25 mg kg-1 for 4 consecutive weeks were administrated. Blood samples in days of 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 after administration from every hen were taken and after centrifugation serums for seral titration of ALT, AST and ALP by standards kits were used.
