Description

The dry chemistry system was applied to the blood chemical examination of chickens. The values obtained from 13-week-old “Takachiho” chickens (5 males, 5 females) and 8-week-old broilers (12 males, 9 females) were evaluated. The following laboratory parameters were included: total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), potassium (K), uric acid (UA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total bilirubin (T-Bil), glucose (Glu), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (T-CHO), transaminase (GOT, GPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTP), creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and amylase (Amy).<BR>There were little significant differences in the serum biochemical profile between the 2 breeds of chickens. Chickens had lower values for TP and higher Glu levels than those of mammals. UA values were extremely high and BUN levels were lower than 3.Omg/dl. Serum enzymes, except for GPT and γ-GTP, revealed obvious high activities and wide variations. Most of the reference values obtaind by the dry chemistry system compared favorably with the published data by the use of conventional methods. From these results, it was conclude that the dry chemistry system may be useful for blood chemical analysis in chickens. It is necessary to collect more data for each laboratory parameter so as to establish the normal range, thereby evaluating properly the values measured with chickens.
