Studies on the Clinical Pathological Values offourteen-breed
ChickensMin-Siu ChenAbstractThe purposes of this study was to
establish the normal haematolgical and blood chemistry values of
fourteen-breed chickens and to compare the differences between
breeds and sexes. Twenty-six blood chemistry values, thirteen
haematological values were estimated for fourteen-breed
chickens. A total of 597 chickens were sampled from 14 flocks.
Haematological values varied with sexes and breeds of chicken.
The highest average number of erythrocytes (M/uL) for male
chicken was found in TW breeds (4.26±0.28) and the lowest
number was in AC breeds (3.18±0.37). In the female, the highest
average number of erythrocytes (M/uL) was in B breeds
(4.15±1.11) and the lowest number was in F breeds (2.69±0.37).
The highest average concentration of hemoglobin (g/dL) for male
chicken was found in CW breeds (17.65±2.38) and the lowest
concentration was in AC breeds (12.05±1.38). In the female, the
highest average concentration of hemoglobin (g/dL)was in B
breeds (15.09±3.99) and the lowest was in F breeds
(10.64±1.34). The highest average value of hematocrit (%) for
male chicken was found in TW breeds (47.93±3.34) and the lowest
value was in AC breeds (35.86±4.89). In the female, the highest
average value of hematocrit (%) was in B breeds (41.37±12.29)
and the lowest value was in KT breeds (29.53±4.28). A higher
concentration of hemoglobin, red blood cell and hematocrit
(packed cell volume) were found in the male chicken. The results
of male and female chicken blood chemistry values ware as
following: The highest average concentration of total protein
(g/dL) for male chicken was found in NG breeds (5.10±1.06) and
the lowest concentration was in J breeds (3.74±0.36). In the
female, the highest average concentration of total protein (g/
dL) was in S breeds (6.24±1.16) and the lowest concentration
was in AC breeds (4.39±0.56). The highest average concentration
of albumin (g/dL) for male chicken was found in F breeds
(1.96±0.77) and the lowest concentration was in T breeds
(1.41±0.22). In the female, the highest average concentration
of albumin (g/dL) was in S breeds (2.33±0.51) and the lowest
concentration was in AC breeds (1.57±0.19). The highest average
concentration of calcium (mg/dL) for male chicken was found in
NG breeds (14.25±1.33) and the lowest concentration was in CW
breeds (10.06±2.37). In the female, the highest average
concentration of calcium (g/dL) was in F breeds (16.00±2.48)
and the lowest concentration was in CN breeds (11.61±1.50). The
highest average concentration of phosphorus (mg/dL) for male
chicken was found in AC breeds( 10.37±1.02) and the lowest was
in NG breeds (5.66±1.56). In the female, the highest average
concentration of phosphorus (mg/dL) was in AC breeds
(10.58±0.98) and the lowest concentration was in L2 breeds
(7.02±1.25). The highest average concentration of cholesterol
(mg/dL) for male chicken was found in AC breeds (173.73±44.34)
and the lowest concentration was in TW breeds (103.21±10.12).
In the female, the highest average concentration of cholesterol
(g/dL) was in T breeds (219.50±52.20) and the lowest
concentration was in CN breeds (144.75±31.04). The highest
average concentration of triglyceride (mg/dL) for male chicken
was found in F breeds (228.55±379.01). and the lowest
concentration was in D breeds (62.57±25.76). In the female, the
highest average concentration of triglyceride (g/dL) was in KT
breeds (1359.56±519.26) and the lowest concentration was in AC
breeds (73.14±17.88). The highest average concentration of iron
(μg/dL) for male chicken was found in F breeds
(222.71±289.14) and the lowest concentration was in B breeds
(96.29±32.86). In the female, the highest average concentration
of iron (μg/dL) was in T breeds (641.52±24961) and the lowest
concentration was in AC breeds (125.82±23.26). Differences were
observed between chicken sexes in total protein, albumin,
calcium, phosphorus, cholesterol, triglyceride, iron. The
highest average concentration of sodium (mmol/L) for male
chicken was found in AC breeds (178.50±3.71) and the lowest
concentration was in J breeds(156.50±2.44) In the female, the
highest average concentration of sodium (mmol/L) was in AC
breeds (176.86±3.96) and the lowest concentration was in LM
breeds (153.76±4.97). The highest average concentration of
potassium (mmol/L) for male chicken was found in AC breeds
(5.96±0.93) and the lowest concentration was in CW breeds
(3.24±0.68). In the female, the highest average concentration
of potassium (mmol/L) was in AC breeds (6.23±0.68) and the
lowest concentration was in LM breeds (3.66±0.56). The highest
average concentration of choloride (mmol/L) for male chicken was
found in AC breeds (134.55±4.76) and the lowest concentration
was in CW breeds (114.05±1.70). In the female, the highest
average concentration of choloride (mmol/L) was in AC breeds
(133.05±2.79) and the lowest concentration was in LM breeds
(107.24±6.91). The rsults were showed that the concentrations
of serum sodium, potassium and choloride of broilers increased
significantly.
