Effect of different sources of drinking water on the haematological and biochemical parameters of commercial broiler chicken

Abstract

A study was carried out to investigate the effect of water from five different sources on the biochemical and haematological parameters of broiler chicken. Among the haematological parameters, the mean values of haemoglobin and PCV levels did not differed significantly (P>0.05) among the broiler chicken offered different sources and treatment of water. The biochemical parameters namely total serum protein and serum glucose were estimated for broiler chicken offered different sources and treatment of water. The total serum protein levels did not differ significantly (P>0.05) among the broiler chickens offered different sources and treatment of water. However, the serum glucose levels differed significantly (P
