“…The blood glucose levels were measured as described by HAWK et al (1954) and expressed as mg/100 ml. The procedures for measuring plasma sodium and potassium have been described previously (GUPTA & PAUL 1972). The glycogen was estimated as described by FONC et al (1953).…”

Malathion induced changes in blood glucose, plasma electrolytes and glycogen content of different tissues have been investigated. Malathion was administered intra‐peritoneally in dose of 50 mg/100 g body weight to 12 hrs‐fasted rats. A significant increase of blood glucose and plasma sodium was observed during the first 6 hrs of treatment, whereas, the glycogen content of the liver, kidney, heart and spleen showed a marked increase during the next 6 to 24 hrs. No significant change in plasma potassium and brain glycogen content was observed at different time intervals. The possible role of the adrenal medulla in malathion induced biochemical changes is discussed.

The effects of different diets on haematological parameters of different species of poultry have been examined in this review. In Nigeria, different poultry species contribute to the animal protein supply of the populace in terms of eggs laid and meat produced. Feeding poultry for optimum growth production requires that the birds consume appropriate balanced diets for the health and productivity, it is important that they be fed diets that meet their nutritional requirements. Dietary components affect the blood profile of healthy birds. The blood transports or conveys nutrients and materials to different parts of the body. Therefore, whatever affects the blood, either nutrition or drugs will certainly affect the entire body adversely or moderately in terms of health, growth, maintenance and reproduction. Thus, a readily available and fast means of assessing, clinical and nutritional health status of animals on feeding trials may be the use of blood analysis, because ingestion of dietary components have measurable effects on blood composition.
