Abstract

The present study was conducted to assess the effects of thermal stress on the serum biochemical and haematological parameters in broiler chicken. Forty CARIBRO- Vishal broiler chicken were divided into two groups with twenty birds each. The control group was kept at room temperature and treatment group was exposed to thermal stress under 40±1 °C for 4 hours at 35 day of age. The exposure of thermal stress significantly increased (P<0.05) the value of serum biochemical parameters (glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride), heterophills, H/L ratios and basophills, however the value of total leukocyte, haemoglobin, haematocrit value, and monocytes decreased significantly (P<0.05).
