Staphylococcosis in birds is everywhere and belongs to the number of ubiquitous bacterioses. The etiology and pathogenesis of this infectious disease are directly related to the immune status of susceptible individuals. In a practical aspect, the evaluation of the immune system is based on the characterization of immunocompetent organs. A special place in solving the problem of treatment of staphylococcal infection is the study of age-related morphology of immunocompetent organs. The article presents the data of histological studies of the thymus, spleen, and bursa of Fabricius during critical periods of broiler chickens’ cultivation when exposed to them with immunocorrection drugs of plant origin. Morphological changes in the immunocompetent organs when using the antibiotic florfenicol and the echinacea purpurea root against the background of the antigenic effect of the chickens Staphylococcus aureus on the body indicate the immunotropic effect of the antibiotics of the amphenicol group, as well as the immunomodulating properties of the drug based on echinacea purpurea.
