Blood biochemical profile of Vanaraja, Dahlem Red, PB-2, PB-2 x Indigenous and PB-2 x Indigenous x Dahlem Red birds under intensive system of management

A study was conducted on 1850 birds (500 from each of Vanaraja, PB-2 x Indigenous and PB-2 x Indigenous x Dahlem Red; 150 PB2-a synthetic broiler male parent and 200 Dahlem Red birds) reared in intensive system of management. Blood were collected from 10 healthy birds of either sex. The overall values of different biochemical parameters were ranged from 25.77±2.54 to 35.35±3.24 IU/l for SGPT, 55.16±3.68 to 75.16±4.13 IU/l for SGOT, 199.53±19.90 to 355.17±29.30 U/L for SALP, 226.69±9.08 to 311.33±20.88 mg/dl for Glucose, 86.44±4.89 to 175.19±17.19 mg/dl for Cholesterol, 1.98±0.04 to 6.64±1.14 mg/dl for Uric acid and 3.51±0.06 to 4.73±0.10 g/dl for Total serum protein. Statistically significant differences (P<0.05) were observed among different breed/variety of birds for all the biochemical parameters estimated in the present study except for SGPT values. It may be concluded that from consumer point of view the bird of PB-2 x Indigenous x Dahlem Red is preferred due to lower level of cholesterol and uric acid in the blood.
