              Hematobiochemical’s alterations of acute chlorpyriphos

              Abstract 
 Aim:
              The present investigation was undertaken to elaborate 
              hematobiochemical alterations of acute chlorpyriphos (CPF) 
              toxicity in indigenous chicken. Since there is no available 
              literature on the detailed hematobiochemical changes of CPF in 
              indigenous chicken, hence, the present study was designed to 
              establish toxicological effect of CPF on blood biochemical 
              parameters of indigenous chicken which are at a great risk of 
              exposure to pesticides. These will help physiologist, pathologist, 
              and poultry scientists for effective production strategy as well 
              as disease control regime.  
              Materials and Methods: The birds were 
              divided into two major Groups I and II. Group I served as control 
              and Group II was treated with CPF (36 mg/kg). Blood samples were 
              assayed for hemoglobin (Hb), total erythrocyte count (TEC), total 
              leukocyte count (TLC), differential leukocyte count, and 
              biochemical constituents such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 
              aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), 
              cholinesterase (CHE), total protein, and uric acid.  
              Results: Hb, TEC, and TLC levels increased 
              significantly (p<0.01) in toxin fed birds, whereas, lymphocyte 
              percent decreased significantly, and heterophil percent increased 
              significantly. Serum ALP, AST, ALT, and uric acid increased 
              significantly in CPF treated birds. Decreased serum CHE values 
              were observed in CPF fed group. The protein level remained almost 
              same. Uric acid level was found to be increased significantly in 
              the treated group compared to control.  
              Conclusion: The results indicated that acute 
              CPF intoxication produce changes in hematology and biochemical 
              constituents of the treated birds.  
              Keywords: acute toxicity, biochemical, 
              chlorpyriphos, hematology.
