The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in hemato-biochemical indices in male and female Vanaraja chickens under tropical environment during summer and winter season.
A total of 120 day-old sexed Vanaraja chicks were selected as experimental chickens and distributed equally in two groups having 60 female and 60 male chickens in each group, respectively. The experiment was continued for 8 weeks (56 days) and both male and female chickens were slaughtered by cervical dislocation method. All parameters were estimated at the end of the experiment in both seasons.
Male had higher blood glucose, Ca and P level. Blood glucose level significantly (p<0.05) reduced in summer. Female had higher total protein, albumin, globulin, and albumin/globulin ratio. Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase enzyme concentration were significantly (p<0.05) higher in summer. Total erythrocyte count, total leukocyte count, hemoglobin (Hb), Hb/lymphocyte ratio, and packed cell volume were significantly (p<0.05) higher in males. Mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular Hb were significantly (p<0.05) higher in females.
Sex of chickens had a significant (p<0.05) effect on different parameters whereas season had nonsignificant (p>0.05) effect in most of the observed parameters. Hence, Vanaraja chickens are adaptable to local tropical climate and can be reared efficiently as backyard poultry.
本研究的目的是评估热带环境下夏季和冬季雄性和雌性瓦纳拉贾鸡血液生化指标的变化。
总共选择120只一日龄的已鉴别性别的瓦纳拉贾雏鸡作为实验鸡，平均分为两组，每组分别有60只母鸡和60只公鸡。实验持续8周（56天），雌雄鸡均通过颈椎脱臼法宰杀。在两个季节的实验结束时评估所有参数。
雄性鸡的血糖、钙和磷水平较高。夏季血糖水平显著降低（p<0.05）。雌性鸡的总蛋白、白蛋白、球蛋白和白蛋白/球蛋白比值较高。夏季丙氨酸氨基转移酶和天冬氨酸氨基转移酶的酶浓度显著较高（p<0.05）。雄性鸡的总红细胞计数、总白细胞计数、血红蛋白（Hb）、Hb/淋巴细胞比值和红细胞压积显著较高（p<0.05）。雌性鸡的平均红细胞体积和平均红细胞血红蛋白显著较高（p<0.05）。
鸡的性别对不同参数有显著影响（p<0.05），而季节对大多数观察参数无显著影响（p>0.05）。因此，瓦纳拉贾鸡适应本地热带气候，可以作为后院家禽高效饲养。
