Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: 2003Subject(s): Department of PathologyDDC classification: 0839,T Dissertation note: This study was conducted on broiler birds for 6 weeks to investigate the effect of excessive sodium salt i.e. sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate on immune status of birds, against NDV by haemagglutination inhibition test. Presence of edematous lesion on postmortem examination, estimation of serum sodium concentrations by spectrophotoinetry and calculation of FCR and weight gain was also performed. A total of 100 (one day old) broiler chicks were purchased and were divided in 4 groups A, B, C and D. The birds of group A were fed on 0.36% NaCI in feed, group B was fed on 0.36% NaHCO3 in feed and the birds of group C were fed on feed having 0.18% NaC1 and 0.18% NaHCO3. The group D was control group fed on routine feed having 0.18% total sodium salts. They were maintained under similar hygienic managemental conditions and were provided feed and water ad libitum The results showed that the birds of group A had better feed conversion ratio as compared to the birds of group B, C and D. Whereas birds of group D had poor FCR as compared to the birds of group A, B and C. The results showed that birds of group A had better weight gain as compared to the birds of group B, C and D. Whereas birds of group D had poor weight gaul as compared to the birds of group A, B and C. On analysis of serum sodium concentration, the birds of group A had maximum sodium concentration and birds of group D had lowest serum sodium concentration. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in the serum sodium levels of all groups except within group B and C. The highest GMHI titer against ND virus was observed in sera of birds of group D and the lowest ill the sera of birds from group A. No edematous lesions were observed in birds of any group.

This study was conducted on broiler birds for 6 weeks to investigate the effect of excessive sodium salt i.e. sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate on immune status of birds, against NDV by haemagglutination inhibition test. Presence of edematous lesion on postmortem examination, estimation of serum sodium concentrations by spectrophotoinetry and calculation of FCR and weight gain was also performed. A total of 100 (one day old) broiler chicks were purchased and were divided in 4 groups A, B, C and D. The birds of group A were fed on 0.36% NaCI in feed, group B was fed on 0.36% NaHCO3 in feed and the birds of group C were fed on feed having 0.18% NaC1 and 0.18% NaHCO3. The group D was control group fed on routine feed having 0.18% total sodium salts. They were maintained under similar hygienic managemental conditions and were provided feed and water ad libitum

The results showed that the birds of group A had better feed conversion ratio as compared to the birds of group B, C and D.
