Abstract
Study was designed to find Zetamethrin post-exposure haemato-immuno modulations in non-vaccinated broiler chicks. Zetamethrin was administered @, 1.265+ 0.198 mg/kg body weight / day for six weeks. It induced persistent anaemia, but reversible changes in haematological parameters and serum proteins.
A significant (P<0.05) depletion in haemoglobin level (Hb), total leukocyte count (TLC), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) wts recorded after six weeks of intoxication. Whereas, elevated serum protein levels were observed at the same time. Hemoglobin contents and mean cell haemoglobin concentration remained significantly low after six weeks of removal of stress (P<0.05). Total serum proteins and total leukocyte contents were found in normal range following 15 days of removal of stress, whereas mean corpuscular haemoglobin was restored to normal level after 15 days of removal of stress.
