HAEMATOLOGICAL STUDIES IN BROILER CHICKEN FED BUTYLATED HYDROXY TOLUENE
An experimental trial was conducted to study the effect of feeding Butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT} on various haematological parameters -PCV, Hb, TEC, TLC and TTC in broiler chicken. BHT was administered orally for six weeks at 130, 260, 520, 1040 and 2080 mg/kg levels. The mean values of PCV and Hb...

| Summary: | An experimental trial was conducted to study the effect of feeding Butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT} on various haematological parameters -PCV, Hb, TEC, TLC and TTC in broiler chicken. BHT was administered orally for six weeks at 130, 260, 520, 1040 and 2080 mg/kg levels. The mean values of PCV and Hb showed a highly significant (P < 0.01) elevation at 1040 mg/kg level. The mean values of TTC showed a highly significant (P < 0.01) decrease at 520, 1040 and 2080 mg/kg levels. The mean values of TLC showed a highly significant (P < 0.01) decrease at 1040 and 2080 mg/kg levels. The TEC showed a highly significant (P < 0.01) elevation in all the BHT treated groups. |
