Effect of feeding cottonseed meal on some hematological and
serum biochemical parameters in broiler birds, Veterinary
World, 9(7): 723-727.
Abstract
Aim:
The study was undertaken to find out the effect of feeding
cottonseed meal (CSM) on performance of hematological and serum
biochemical parameters in broiler birds.
Materials and Methods:
A 6-week biological trial was carried out with 432-day-old Cobb
400 broiler chicks distributed to nine experimental diets with
six replicates, each containing eight chicks. The experimental
diets were formulated based on total amino acids (BTAA) or based
on digestible amino acids (BDAA) with or without iron
supplementation with two levels of CSM (2% and 4%) and control
diet based on maize – soybean. The whole blood was subjected to
hematological studies. The serum samples were analyzed for
protein fractions and lipid profiles.
Results:
The packed cell volume (PCV) value, red blood cell (RBC)
numbers, and hemoglobin (Hb) were lower in iron unsupplemented
CSM BTAA or BDAA diets than the control (33.86-35.54 vs. 36.41%,
2.78-2.87 vs. 2.98 × 106/μl, and 10.30-10.70 vs.
10.88%). Supplementation of iron in CSM diets improved the PCV,
RBC numbers, and Hb, and the values were comparable to the
control. White blood cell numbers, mean corpuscular volume, mean
corpuscular Hb (MCH), and MCH concentration values were
comparable to the control. The erythrocyte osmotic fragility (EOF)
was poor in birds fed diets containing up to 4% CSM BTAA or CSM
BDAA without iron supplementation (32.02-32.57 vs. 28.77%).
Supplementation of iron improved the EOF. The serum cholesterol
level did not change with or without iron supplementation.
Conclusion:
This study suggested that feeding of CSM BTAA or BDAA up to 4%
level voiding iron supplementation lowers the hematological
parameters, whereas supplementation of iron did not alter serum
protein fractions and cholesterol profile; however, it had
lowered some hematological parameters, which was rectified by
iron supplementation.
