EFFECT OF SUBLETHAL COCCIDIOSIS UNDER SUBLETHAL OCHRATOXICOSIS IN SEROLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF BROILER CHICKE

Abstract

A study was conducted in 72 day-old broiler birds to evaluate the variation in serum parameters in subinfective dose of coccidiosis nunder sublethal ochratoxicosis for a period of 21ndays. Treatment group was fed with ochratoxin A (OTA) and oocysts of Eimeria tenella and serum parameters were analysed day one, three and seven post-inoculation. Significant increase was observed in serum aspartate amino transferase, creatinine, uric acid and urea concentration while significant decrease was noticed in total protein, albumin, globulin and A/G ratio.
