- Abstract
An experiment was carried out to study the hematological and biochemical changes of stunting syndrome in broiler chicken from day old ( group I) and 3 weeks (group III) of age to 8 weeks of age in two phases along with group II and group IV as control. Birds were slaughtered at 3, 5 ,7 and 8 weeks of age and the blood samples were collected and analyzed. The mean PCV, Hb, TEC values were reduced significantly (P<0.01) in stunted birds. Increased AHC, AMC and ABC values along with decreased ALC values were obtained. Significantly (P<0.01) lower serum total protein values and increased serum Amylase ALP, AST and ALT activity were observed in stunted groups ( I and III) whereas blood glucose values among the groups were not significant. The decreased hematological and biochemical parameters in the present study indicates a decrease in the absorption and digestion of protein and damage to liver and intestines in stunting syndrome of broiler chicken.
