    abstract = {To explore the influence of Longdan Xiegan Decoction (LXD) on body weights and the immune organ indexes in ducklings administrated with Aflatoxin B<SUB>1</SUB> (AFB<SUB>1</SUB>), ninety, 7 days old ducklings were randomly divided into three groups (groups I-III). Group I was used as a blank control. Group II was administered with AFB<SUB>1</SUB> (0.1 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> body weight). Group III was administered with AFB<SUB>1</SUB> (0.1 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> body weight) plus LXD (as 2% of feed). All treatments were given once daily for 21 days. It showed that the ducklings&#146; bursa of fabricius and thymus indexes, body weights in group II significantly decreased when compared with group I (p&lt;0.01). Furthermore, the spleen indexes significantly decreased (p&lt;0.01). However, the ducklings&#146; bursa of fabricius and thymus indexes, body weights in group III ducklings significantly increased when compared with group II (p&lt;0.01). In addition, the spleen indexes significantly decreased (p&lt;0.01). These results revealed that AFB<SUB>1</SUB> significantly affect ducklings&#146; growth and immune organs development. However, LXD significantly ameliorated the negative effects induced by AFB<SUB>1</SUB>.}
