The poultry sector is one of the most vibrant segments of the agriculture industry of Pakistan. In addition to different infections, ammonia (NH) production from litter material of broiler is the most harmful pollutant and causes serious threats for the environment. To overcome this problem, different methods are proposed assuring poultry bird's health and production. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of toxic levels of NH on the haematology and serum proteins of broiler birds and its amelioration by using different modifiers. The recovery of () from liver and spleen of broiler birds was also carried out. A total of 100 birds were divided into 5 separate groups (groups A-D). The groups C, D and E were treated with potassium aluminium sulphate, aluminium silicate and plant extract, respectively. Blood and tissue samples were collected after slaughtering the birds at 42 days of age. This study revealed increased RBC, total leucocyte count, Hb and heterophils percentage. Serum proteins were decreased in Yucca-treated and potassium aluminium sulphate-treated groups. This study concluded that NH production was reduced by the application of different modifiers, and these modifiers also neutralized the changes in blood parameters induced by NH.
家禽养殖部门是巴基斯坦农业产业中最具活力的领域之一。除了各种感染外,肉鸡垫料产生的氨气(NH)是最有害的污染物,对环境造成严重威胁。为克服这一问题,人们提出了各种确保家禽健康和生产的方法。本研究旨在评估氨气的毒性水平对肉鸡血液学和血清蛋白的影响,以及使用不同改良剂对其进行改善的效果。同时还对肉鸡肝脏和脾脏中的()进行了回收。总共100只鸡被分为5个独立的组(A - D组)。C组、D组和E组分别用硫酸铝钾、硅酸铝和植物提取物进行处理。在鸡42日龄屠宰后采集血液和组织样本。本研究显示红细胞、白细胞总数、血红蛋白和嗜异性粒细胞百分比增加。丝兰处理组和硫酸铝钾处理组的血清蛋白减少。本研究得出结论,施用不同的改良剂可减少氨气的产生,并且这些改良剂还能中和氨气引起的血液参数变化。
