EFFECT OF SEASON ON BIOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF SERUM IN COMMERCIAL BROILER CHICKEN
160 / 32
Abstract
A study was conducted on broilers in two trials to estimate blood biochemicalparameters during summer and winter season. Blood samples (32 nos) were collected from
two birds (one male & one female) per replicate, before slaughtering. The result revealed
that the glucose concentration was significantly (p<0.05) higher in male (191.96±5.14,
197.37±1.90) birds than in female birds in both winter and summer season. Irrespective of
sexes, the total proteins concentration (3.15±0.18 & 3.09±0.01) was significantly (p<0.05)
higher in winter than in summer. The albumin calcium, phosphorus, tri-iodothyronine and
alkaline phosphatase did not differ significantly in different seasons. However, concentration
differed significantly (p<0.05) in females (16.17±0.41 and 9.30±0.48 ng/ml) between the two
seasons
