Abstract
A study involving 240 broiler chicks was conducted to observe the influence of different levels (0,50, 100, 150 ppm) of pesticide (Lannate) on the blood chemistry of the broiler chicks fed rations containing different levels of protein. At 4, 6 and 8 weeks age, there was significant decrease in total serum proteins, serum albumen, serum cholesterol and serum triglycerides but significant increase in serum glucose due to feeding of pesticide. The values of these parameters were significantly reduced at lower levels of protein at the end of 4 weeks. These values at 6 and 8 weeks of age were not influenced by the protein level, except that at the end of 6 weeks, serum glucose was significantly reduced at lower level of protein.
