Determination Of selected Blood Parameters Of Broilers

Abstract

Abstract To evaluate the certain hemato-biochemical parameters in different ages of commercial broilers, the study was performed in the laboratory under department of Physiology, Biochemistry and Pharmacology at Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Chittagong from August ’09 to Nov ’09. On hematological examination, it was revealed that the average value of RBC, PCV, Hb concentration, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Heterophil, Eosinophil and Basophil were 3.030.08 mill/cc, 27.380.36%, 8.070.13gm%, 70.25%, 6.17%, 15.75 %, 5.54%, 2.17%, respectively. RBC decrease with the advancement of age. On biochemical parameters, Average TP level was found 29.46±1.41 gm/dl but highest was at the day 14 (33.58±2.63 gm/dl). On the other hand, glucose and minerals (Ca and P) level was found increased along with age but glucose showed higher trend during growing stage. Ca and P level was lowest at day 0 (9.05±0.84 mg/dl and 4.66±0.41 mg/dl) and highest was at 35 day (13.65±0.74 mg/dl and 7.29±.29 mg/dl). RBC, SGOT and Cholesterol decreased gradually with the increased of age. At 0 day the level of RBC, GOT and Cholesterol was 3.130.06 mill/cc, 219.53±6.43 U/L and 252.00±4.28 mg/dl) but at 35 day it was 3.030.08mill/cc, 188.20±9.55 U/L and 112.53±3.36 mg/dl respectively. In this study Hb %, packed cell volume and SGPT level found no significant effect on age. The findings of present study clearly indicate that age has influential effect on hematobiochemical values
