“…addition, average erythrocyte size, haemoglobin amount per blood cell, and the amount of haemoglobin relative to the size of the cell per red blood cells were studied. Although, the MCV, MCH and MCHC values reported in this work were lower than broiler normal means values of 174 fL for MCV, 61pg/cell for MCH and 33 g/dl for MCHC reported by Merck (2012) for broilers, it is worthy of note that these values reported in this study are in line with the MCV, MCH and MCHC values reported for broilers by Onunkwo et al (2018), Odunitan-Waya et al (2018, Ifelayo et al (2020) and Muneer et al (2021), and within the normal ranges of 90-140fL (MCV), 33-47 pg/cell (MCH) and 26-35 g/dl (MCHC) reported for broilers by Bounous and Stedman (2000). Hence, the ability of the extracts to maintain the MCV, MCH, MCHC levels of colibacillosis infected broilers indicates that they may possess phytobiotic properties against the E. coli as well as the tendency to restore blood quality.…”

The challenges posed by microbes in poultry industries and the continued search for natural means of combating them inspired this study. The effect of the stem bark extracts of Anacardium occidentale on avian colibacillosis was investigated. Ethanol and aqueous extracts of the stem bark of A. occidentale were prepared using standard methods. In vitro antimicrobial activities of the extracts were evaluated against E. coli. Nine groups of 10 broilers (day old chicks; 48 g – 50 g) each were created and bred for a period of eight weeks. Groups 1 to 3 served as the control, while group 4 to 9 served as the test groups. Meat quality, biochemical and haematological assessments were done using standard methods. The maximum zone of inhibition observed was 13.0±0.4 mm at 100 % concentration of the ethanol extract. Both extracts were observed to have a bactericidal / bacteriostatic ratio of 2. The extracts improved the meat quality, blood protein, liver enzymes and renal functions of the broilers compared to the negative control. Again, packed cell volume, haemoglobin and red blood cell counts were increased by the extracts compared to the negative control. On the whole, the results obtained for the extracts were not significantly different (p > 0.05) from that of the commercial antibiotics (positive control) results. Therefore, we can infer that crude extracts of A. occidentale could be used against Colibacillosis disease in place of the conventional commercial antibiotics.

“…Consequently, Guluwa et al (2017) reported that haemoglobin concentration within the normal range for healthy chicken indicates improved oxygen carrying capacity. Muneer et al (2021) reported that packed cell volume, HB and mean corpuscular heamoglobin are major indices for evaluating circulatory erythrocytes and are significant in the diagnosis of anemia and also serve as useful indices for bone marrow capacity to produce red blood cells like in human being. Furthermore, the white blood cells increased with increased inclusion levels of LMSM.…”

A 56-day feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of lye processed Moringa seed meal (LMSM) on performance and blood indices of broiler chicken. A total of 150 one- day-old cobb breed broiler chicks were randomly allotted to five (5) dietary treatments replicated three times with ten chicks per replicate. The experimental diets were formulated with LMSM at inclusion levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% designated as T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Data were generated for final body weight, total feed intake, daily feed intake (DFI), total weight gain, daily weight gain (DWG), feed conversion ratio and blood indices. Data obtained were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The result of the performance showed significant (P<0.05) influence of LMSM on final weight gain, weight gain, daily feed intake and feed conversion ratio at both phases. Birds on diet 0%, 5% and 10% recorded the highest weight gain while birds on 15% and 20% LMSM obtained the least value in the starter phase. Birds on control diet and 5% LMSM recorded the highest feed intake while the lowest was obtained on 20% diet. The best FCR was observed in birds fed control diet, 5% and 10% LMSM diet. Finisher broiler fed control diet, 5% and 10% recorded higher final weight and weight gain. Birds fed control diet recorded the highest feed intake while birds on 15% and 20% LMSM recorded the lowest. Birds fed control diet, 5% and 10% LMSM obtained better FCR. The feed cost per gain was cheaper when fed LMSM irrespective of the inclusion level. Heamatology and serum chemistry results revealed that all measured parameters showed no significant (P>0.05) influence of LMSM treatments on the birds except packed cell volume (PVC), Hemoglobin (Hb) and White blood cell, Glucose and ALP. Broiler chickens could be fed up to 10% LMSM at starter phase and 15%LMSM of finisher phase.

he present study was conducted to investigate the effect of flock age and sex on hematological and biochemical parameters as well as the transfer rate of maternal antibodies from female breeders to their one-day-old chicks. A total of 20 birds (10 males and 10 females) were used at 60, 62, and 64 weeks of age (WOA) in the study. The hematological parameters included hemoglobin concentration (Hb), red blood cells (RBCs), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). While the biochemical parameters included plasma total protein (TP), albumin (A), globulin (G), A/G ratio, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), uric acid (UA) and creatinine (Cr), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glucose (GLU), calcium (Ca), and phosphorus (P). Results showed that, with the exception of RBCs, flock age had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on all hematological parameters and blood indices. Furthermore, sex had a significant effect on Hb, while it did not affect significantly (P > 0.05) the rest of the parameters and blood indices. Plasma TP, G, TG, UA, Ca, P, and GLU were significantly affected by flock age, while the rest of the biochemical parameters were not significantly affected by flock age. Moreover, sex had significant effects on A, A/G ratio, TG, TC, UA, Ca, GLU, and AST, whereas there was no significant effect of sex on the rest of the parameters. Furthermore, the results revealed that there were low levels of geometric mean titer (GMT) of Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) and Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) in female breeders, accompanied by low levels of passive maternal antibodies (Mab) in their progeny. The previous results provided baseline data on hematological and biochemical parameters for Indian River broiler breeders. In conclusion, ageing had a detrimental effect on female breeders' immune systems, which could negatively affect their progeny at an early age.
