This experimental work was conducted to elucidate the immunosuppressive effect of ibuprofen in Japanese Quails. A total number of 100 healthy Japanese quails were reared up to two weeks of age and then divided into four major groups i.e. Control (C) group and the three Treatment groups namely B1, B2 and B3 respectively. Experiment was carried out on 100 birds out of which 25 birds were kept in each group. The birds in control group received normal starter feed without any medicine and the drug was given with feed @ 15, 30 and 45 mg /kg body weight to the birds of B1, B2 and B3 groups for 15 days. The intoxicated birds revealed severe lesions of gout and immune suppression which was evident by the deposition of white chalky material on the surface of visceral organs and lymphoid depletion.
