Blood Indicators in Turkeys Infected With Different Types of Invasion

Abstract

The article talks about mono- and mixed invasions and the intensity of parasites in the body of turkeys, causing changes in various forms in blood parameters. Blood tests of naturally infected birds show that although the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in sick birds increased, there was a decrease in leukocytes and an increase in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. And this was more prominently shown in birds infected with mixed two and three helminths, compared with birds infected with monoinvasions.
