Abstract
    This study was done on thirty mature male rabbits of 1500 gm mean body weight, those rabbits were randomly divided into three equal experimental  groups of ten animals each .The first group was regarded as control group and drenched 3 ml normal saline daily for one month. The second group animals were drenched 3ml of licorice root water extract daily for one month also. While the third group animals were drenched 3ml of water extract of oregano daily for one month also. At the end of the drenching period blood samples were drawn from all animals by heart puncture and blood was analyzed for total RBC count; Hb %; pcv%; total leukocytic  count and blood indices of MCH; MCV, and MCHC were calculated in addition to doing blood smears from each animal to estimate percentages of differential leukocytic count. Results revealed that drenching licorice water extract had a significant increase  (p<0.05) on total RBC count;  total WBC count and neutrophils also, significant decrease in MCHC and eosinophil, whereas results of drenching water extract of Oreganum vulgari caused  significant increase on total leukocytic count , MCV and  neutrophil  while RBC had no significant effect so, PCV, Hb, had no effect in the two experimental.
