Variation in haematological parameters of Nigerian native chickens was studied using 60 clinically normal frizzle-feathered, naked-neck, and normal-feathered native chickens. These included red blood cell count, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, white blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, serum glucose, urea, cholesterol, albumin, globulin and creatinine. Normal-feathered birds had higher (p<0.05) mean values compared to frizzled and native neck genotypes except for albumin, red blood and white blood cells, and mean cell haemoglobin concentration. Males generally had higher mean values than their female counterparts across all genotypes. Correlation coefficients among the parameters were significant (p<0.001) with r values ranging from 0.26 between red blood cell and mean corpuscular haemoglobin to 0.92 between red blood cell and cholesterol. Sufficient genetic variation therefore exists for haematological parameters among Nigerian native chickens that may represent indicator traits for further study. However, the application of molecular tools will provide better understanding and application of these differences.
利用60只临床正常的卷羽、裸颈和正常羽型的本地鸡，研究了尼日利亚本地鸡血液学参数的变化。这些参数包括红细胞计数、血红蛋白、血细胞比容、白细胞计数、平均红细胞体积、平均红细胞血红蛋白浓度、血清葡萄糖、尿素、胆固醇、白蛋白、球蛋白和肌酐。除白蛋白、红细胞、白细胞和平均细胞血红蛋白浓度外，正常羽型鸡的平均值高于卷羽和裸颈基因型（p<0.05）。在所有基因型中，雄性的平均值通常高于雌性。参数之间的相关系数显著（p<0.001），r值范围从红细胞与平均红细胞血红蛋白之间的0.26到红细胞与胆固醇之间的0.92。因此，尼日利亚本地鸡的血液学参数存在足够的遗传变异，这些变异可能代表进一步研究的指示性状。然而，分子工具的应用将有助于更好地理解和应用这些差异。
