**3. Conclusions**

The root and stem barks of *E. abbyssinica* have better yields than their leaves. The root and stem barks exhibit antimicrobial activities against *Staphylococus aureus* and *Pseudomonas aeruginosa.* The study had demonstrated that the leaves extracts generally did not have antimicrobial activities. The MICs of the root and stem bark extracts ranged from (3.5-31.3) mg/ml for *Staphylococcus aureus* and (410-1000) mg/ml for *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*. The study agreed that farmers were right in using root barks of *E. abyssinica* to treat various ailments in poultry diseases including other livestock diseases. There is need for further research to do phyto-chemical analysis to analyze the bioactive constituents of the extracts, undertake acute toxicity tests of the extracts.

It was clear that *Capsicum annum* have antibacterial activities against *Salmonella species* and *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*. The results reveal that the fruit extracts of *Capsicum annum* have activity against *Salmonella species*, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* in Mbarara and Rakai districts respectively. No activity was noted against E. coli and *Staphylococcus aureus*. The leaves of *Capsicum annum* did not show any antibacterial activities. The MICs of the fruit extracts was 1000mg/ml. The study agreed that farmers may be right in using fruits of *Capsicum annum* to treat various ailments in poultry diseases. There is need for further research to do phytochemical analysis to analyze the bioactive constituents of the extracts, undertake acute and chronic toxicity tests for *Capsicum annum* extracts.
