Effect of temperature and photoperiod on serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase and certain haematological parameters in guinea fowl (Numida melgearis) during winter and summer seasons

The present study was carried out to find out the effect of temperature and photoperiod on biochemical and haematological parameters in guinea fowls during winter and summer seasons. Haematological studies included the estimation of Haemoglobin (Hb), Packed cell volume (PCV), Total erythrocyte count (TEC), Total leucocyte count (TLC) Differential leucocyte count (DLC) and biochemical estiination of calcium (Ca) Phosphorus (P), Alkaline Phosphatase (AP).
