Abstract | This paper aims to study the influence of new immunostimulants of tissue and plant origin on the morphological characteristics of the immune system the dynamics of serum immunoglobulins. The conducted research revealed the beneficial effect of glycyrrhizic acid (GA) on the body of sick animals, promoting their growth and development, improving animals’ clinical and physiological parameters. GA showed a positive effect on the cellular and humoral factors of natural resistance of calves with bronchopneumonia. Thus, GA activates biochemical processes and immune response aimed at the coordinated use of energy resources. It results in a favourable outcome of the disease due to activated metabolism and positively affects calf growth and development. Biostimulator Nucleostim is a purified extract of bovine spleen containing at least 1 mg/ml of low molecular weight peptides. At the end of the experiment, the survival rate of the experimental group of fowl treated with nucleostim increased to 88% compared to 72% of the control group. Nucleostimbiostimulant as a feed additive for chickens restores the histological architecture of the thymus with differentiation of the well-distinguished cortex and the medulla. It increases the mitotic activity of thymocytes, improves blood supply to the organ.
