“…The findings of Adewole et al 23 , reported that sex had no significant influence on all haematological parameters except for red blood cell count that was significantly affected in broiler where the male had higher values. This result is consistent with those of Schmidt et al 24 , who reported that sex did not affect RBC, WBC and Hb. Similarly, sex did not affect PCV, Hb, WBC and RBC in yellow-legged gulls Garcia et al 25 and helmeted guinea fowl Adedibu et al 21 .…”

Background and Objective:The selection of genotypes and choice of breeding programmes are pivotal determining tools for the improvement and sustain ability of poultry production. This study determines the immune response of Newcastle inactive antigen with immunological traits in the Nigerian Indigenous Chicken (NICs). Materials and Methods: Seventy-six chicks consisting of normal feathered high titre, normal feathered low titre, frizzle feathered high titre, frizzle feathered low titre, naked-neck high titre and naked-neck low titre were used to study the immune response traits after being challenged with Newcastle disease vaccine (LaSota) on 7th post challenged. Blood was collected on the 14th, 21th and 28th days Post-Inoculation (PI) to investigate haemagglutination inhibition. Blood samples collected on the 28th day were used for haematological and biochemical parameters. The data collected were analyzed using the general linear model in SAS 9.2. Results: Genotype-antibody titre and sex had significant effects (p<0.05) on haemagglutination inhibition at 14th, 21st and 28th days PI. Frizzle feathered high titre, naked-neck high titre and normal feathered high titre chicks (6.95±0.30, 7.33±1.45 and 7.71±0.47), respectively had higher haemagglutination inhibition than normal feathered low titre chicks across the days of post-inoculation. Haematological parameters were not affected (p>0.05) by genotypeantibody titre and sex except for eosinophils and white blood cells, while biochemical indices were not (p>0.05) affected by genotype-antibody titre and sex on the 28th day old. Conclusion: The present study establishes reference values that may contribute to the assessment of chicken health for selection in the breeding programme.

“…Griffin et al 1984;Lumeij, (2008) reported that proteins are the precursors to the oocyte's yolk, such as vitellogenin and lipoproteins, which are generated in the liver and transported to the ovary. Schmidt et al (2008) observed that, compared to adult males and young birds, mature females' plasma total protein values were higher, contrasting with our results. These current results are in agreement with Rezende et al (2021) who found that serum albumin values obtained by females were higher than those obtained by males and reported that the high levels of protein required by females for egg development and the lower proportions of protein and amino acids in male diets also contributed to the lower values discovered for male serum albumin.…”

he present study was conducted to investigate the effect of flock age and sex on hematological and biochemical parameters as well as the transfer rate of maternal antibodies from female breeders to their one-day-old chicks. A total of 20 birds (10 males and 10 females) were used at 60, 62, and 64 weeks of age (WOA) in the study. The hematological parameters included hemoglobin concentration (Hb), red blood cells (RBCs), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). While the biochemical parameters included plasma total protein (TP), albumin (A), globulin (G), A/G ratio, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), uric acid (UA) and creatinine (Cr), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glucose (GLU), calcium (Ca), and phosphorus (P). Results showed that, with the exception of RBCs, flock age had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on all hematological parameters and blood indices. Furthermore, sex had a significant effect on Hb, while it did not affect significantly (P > 0.05) the rest of the parameters and blood indices. Plasma TP, G, TG, UA, Ca, P, and GLU were significantly affected by flock age, while the rest of the biochemical parameters were not significantly affected by flock age. Moreover, sex had significant effects on A, A/G ratio, TG, TC, UA, Ca, GLU, and AST, whereas there was no significant effect of sex on the rest of the parameters. Furthermore, the results revealed that there were low levels of geometric mean titer (GMT) of Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) and Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) in female breeders, accompanied by low levels of passive maternal antibodies (Mab) in their progeny. The previous results provided baseline data on hematological and biochemical parameters for Indian River broiler breeders. In conclusion, ageing had a detrimental effect on female breeders' immune systems, which could negatively affect their progeny at an early age.

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding graded levels of dietary crude protein (CP) on serum biochemical profile of Lady Amherst's pheasants (LAP). Eighteen male LAP were randomly distributed into three groups of six each in an experiment based on completely randomized design. The CP content of the diets was 13.4%, 16.5%, and 19.1%, in groups I, II, and III, respectively. Serum concentrations of uric acid was lowest (P < 0.05) in group I. Relationship between serum concentration of uric acid and nitrogen intake was linear (R(2) = 0.39, P < 0.01). Concentrations of other serum metabolites and enzymes were similar among the groups. Serum concentration of triiodothyronine (T3 ) was highest (P < 0.05) in group I, followed by groups II and III. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of serum was lower (P < 0.007), whereas serum concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) was higher (P < 0.001) in group I as compared to groups II and III. Regression of serum concentration of TAC (R(2) = 0.74, P < 0.01) and MDA (R(2) = 0.39, P < 0.05) was polynomial. Heterophil to lymphocyte ratio was higher (P < 0.007) in group I as compared to groups II and III. Relationship between H/L ratio and nitrogen intake was polynomial (R(2) = 0.69, P < 0.05). Cell mediated immune response measured as foot web index was similar among the groups. Based upon the results, it was concluded that a diet containing 16.5% crude protein would be optimum for improving antioxidant defense and the ability of Lady Amherst's pheasant to combat stress.
