Abstract

ABSTRACT
A study was conducted to investigate the influence of stress management on blood
profile of broiler chickens kept under cage system. Two hundred four day old commercial
broiler chicks were randomly selected and divided into four groups equally and given
treatment of different anti stress agents along with standard diet. The blood profile was
investigated at 42 day age of five chickens randomly selected from each group. The Hb%,
TEC(106/mm3), PCV% ,TLC (103/mm3) and differential counts along with biochemical
parameters viz. Blood sugar (mg/dl), serum protein (g/dl), SGOT and SGPT (IU) indicated
improvement in general health condition of birds in anti stress treated group than control.
The effect was best on zeetress followed by honey, glucose and control group.
