“…Mulley (1979) did not find any difference in protein values between male and female black ducks. The species-difference in serum protein estimates, revealed in our study agrees with that of Kabir (2012).…”

“…On the contrary, Kabir (2012) documented existence of significant difference of serum globulin levels in chickens as compared to other poultry birds. Swathi and Sudhamayee (2005) reported lower serum globulin values in indigenous ducks than the crossbreds.…”

“…Okeudo et al (2003) reported the effect of sex on the total protein values suggesting significantly higher serum total protein values in female ducks (12.07 ± 1.5 g/100 ml) as compared to males (6.87 ± 0.42 g/100 ml) at 28 weeks of age. Kabir (2012) documented the existence of significant difference of serum total protein in chickens as compared to other poultry birds (goose, duck, pigeon, and quail). Comparative studies between the Nigerian duck and the Nigerian laughing dove revealed significantly higher levels of total plasma proteins (Olayemi et al, 2006).…”

“…However, available reports on serum biochemistry of blood across species and breeds of duck are scarce, as compared to those of chickens and other avian species. Comparative studies of serum biochemistry in chicken verses ducks are limited (Franco et al, 2012;Kabir, 2012). The existence of breed difference in laying chickens has been documented by many researchers (Dutta et al, 2013;Gyenis et al, 2006;Khawaja et al, 2013); while the literature is porous in ducks especially in the native duck breeds in their peak laying period.…”

An investigation was carried out to compare the serum biochemical profile of two prominent avian species: ducks vis a vis chickens, at peak egg production phases. The genotypes consisted of 3 breeds of ducks: Khaki Campbell, White Pekins and a native duck breed: Kuzhi (reared in Odisha and adjoining regions) and besides the White Leghorn chickens, at 50 week age, numbering 30 each, with rearing done in individual cages. The result revealed significant (p<0.0001) genotypeassociated differences for almost all the serum biochemical parameters, except globulin. There existed a significant (p<0.0001) difference between the species (duck verses chicken) for these parameters, with distinct inter-breed variations. Among the lipid profile HDL of ducks remained comparable to that of chickens, with the indigenous Kuzhi ducks displaying the most desirable lipid-profile of all the genotypes except LDL. The serum liver-enzymes (SGOT and SGPT) were well within normal ranges, expected or laying birds with significant difference between species, with between-breed variations among ducks. It was concluded that, ducks had significantly-distinct and variant serum biochemical profiles compared to chickens, where the indigenous ducks (of Odisha region) possessed the most-desirable estimates, as expected from tableegg laying species.

the aim of this study was to evaluate the strength of vitelline membrane and its correlation with other morphological traits and the viscosity of egg yolk of different poultry species: goose, turkey, muscovy duck, chicken, guinea fowl and Japanese quail. vitelline membrane strength (vms) was defined as work and force after the deformation of yolk at 6 mm. Bird species affected the VMS of egg yolk. the lowest strength was measured for the vitelline membrane of goose egg yolk. there were no apparent differences in the strength of vitelline membrane for ducks, guinea fowl, chickens and Japanese quail. in contrast, the vitelline membrane of turkey egg yolk appeared to be of the highest strength. Statistically significant positive correlations were observed between VMS and yolk index, while there was no correlation between the weight of the eggs and egg yolk. the work deformation of yolk was positively correlated with the viscosity of poultry egg yolk. Key words: egg yolk, vitelline membrane strength, yolk index, viscosityA vitelline membrane is an integral part of egg yolk, separating it from egg white (albumen). By surrounding slurry yolk, it gives a spherical shape. The structure of vitelline membrane integrity is of high biological importance. It protects the inner part of yolk against pathogens and allows the proper course of embryogenesis. During the incubation embryonic cells are responsible for structural alterations in the vitelline membrane which weaken the membrane and subsequently cause it to rupture over the embryo. After 48 h of incubation, the mechanical strength of the membrane is decreased by 73%. The factors responsible for weakening of the membrane during development have not been determined.
