Study comparison for haematological and biochemical changes in Ducks infected with Amidostomum anseris

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine of haematological and biochemical changes in ducks infected with nematoda worm Amidostomum anseris and compared with control group , 52 samples of ducks were collected at Village subsequent of Al-Diwaniya city as well as city center .Birds divided in to four groups : G1 represent control group , G2 birds with light infection , G3 birds with mediate infection , G4 birds with severe infection .Haematological parameters include count total red blood corpuscles (Erythrocytic ) and white blood corpuscles (Leucocytic), packed cell volume%(P.C.V) and Haemoglobin concentration (Hb), biochemical parameters include measurement of total protein(T.P) concentration , total Cholestrol concentration(T.C) and Triglyceride(T.G) . The results of blood examination showed that total erthrocytic count , Packed cell volume and haemoglobin (Hb) percentage decreased significant in infected groups , The total leucocytic count showed significant increased in all infected groups. also result showed that total protein concentration decreased significant in G2,G3,G4 as compared with G1. while total cholestrol and triglycerides decreased gradual in serum blood of all infection birds .
