Abstract

Broiler chicks fed triazophos (6.85 ppm and 0.685 ppm) an organophosphate pesticide for 8 weeks of age revealed apparent sign of toxicity. The serum alkaline phosphatase increased significantly at all intervals at 6.85 ppm dosage. Serum acid phosphatase activity is also increased. Serum alanine amino transferase levels in the birds fed 6.85 ppm of triazophos increased significantly except at 6th week as compared to control. Serum asparate aminotransferase level increased at alI intervals in group II as compared to control.
