Abstract
Aim:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of season
and sex on hemato-biochemical parameters of turkey (Meleagris
gallopavo)
in the arid tropical environment.
Materials and Methods:
The experiment was conducted on 20-week old turkeys consisting
of 20 males and 20 females. Blood was collected from all turkeys
during January and May. Hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC),
packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean
corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin
concentration (MCHC) were estimated in whole blood and glucose,
protein, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio, calcium, phosphorus,
alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase
(AST) in serum.
Result:
Season has significant (p<0.05) effect on Hb concentration, RBC,
and PCV in both male and female. Male has significantly higher
(p<0.05) Hb concentration, RBC, and PCV. There is no significant
effect of sex, and season was observed on MCV, MCH, and MCHC.
Glucose, protein, albumin, globulin, and A/G ratio were
significantly (p<0.05) affected by season and sex. AST and ALT
were significantly (p<0.05) affected by season in both sexes.
There is no significant difference was recorded on calcium,
phosphorus due to season and sex.
Conclusion:
Under arid tropical environment, turkey hemato-biochemical
parameters are influenced by both sex and season.
Keywords:
alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, season,
sex, turkey.
