The investigational trials were conducted on day-old, total ninety chicks of broilers and indigenous (IND) poultry breeds in controlled conditions to analyze some hematological parameters. Water and basal diet were provided ad libitum. The experiment was carried out for 20 weeks. A total of 40 blood samples 20 for each breed were collected in a randomized manner through a brachial cut at the end of the trial. Hematological parameters, i.e., RBCs (10 6 /μl), WBCs (10 3 /μL), Lymphocytes (10 3 /μL), Monocytes (10 3 /μL), PLTs (10 3 /μL), Hb (g/dL), Ht (%), MCV (fL), MCH (pg), and MCHC (g/dL) were analyzed. Two-tailed Student t-test was applied to compare the means (p<0.05) of hematological parameters of both breeds. The findings exhibited that total RBCs, PLTs, and Hb concentration, were considerably higher (p<0.05) in IND chickens than broilers. On the other hand, the total WBCs, Lymphocytes, and Monocytes were remarkably higher (p<0.05) in broilers than the IND breed. However, no statistically important distinction (p>0.05) noted in both breeds in Ht, MCV, MCH, and MCHC parameters.
Water loss, chick yield and DIS analysis are all important factors in quality investigation of both the chick and hatchery performance. The age of breeders affect the hatchability, egg weight, chick weight water loss, Candling and DIS. In this experiment the broiler breeder were divided into three groups on the basis of age, young (24-30 weeks), prime (31-50 weeks) and old (51+ weeks) to investigate the effects of hatchability , egg weight, chick weight , Water loss, chick yield and DIS along mal-position and mal-formations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
