Abstract
The present work was undertaken to evaluate the effect of breed and sex on Serum Biochemical profile in White Pekin and Indigenous ducks of Tamil Nadu at Post Graduate Research Institute in Animal Sciences (PGRIAS), Kattupakkam. A total of eighty number of ducks comprising 20 male and 20 female each in White Pekin and Indigenous ducks of Tamil Nadu were reared under standard managemental conditions. Once in every 4 weeks, blood was collected from these ducks individually from 20th week onwards for the duration of two months. The parameters such as Total Serum Protein, Serum Albumin, Serum Globulin, Serum Calcium, Serum Cholesterol and Serum Triglyceride were estimated. The results revealed that the White Pekin ducks had significantly (P<0.01) higher Total Serum Protein, Serum Albumin, Serum Globulin while Serum Triglyceride level was significantly (P<0.01)higher in Indigenous ducks of Tamil Nadu. Among sexes, female Indigenous ducks had significantly (P<0.05) higher Total Serum Protein, Serum Globulin than male ducks. Serum Cholesterol and Serum calcium was significantly higher in female White Pekin and Indigenous ducks of Tamil Nadu than the male ducks. Hence, it was concluded that breed and sex had significant effect on Serum Biochemical parameters in White Pekin and Indigenous ducks of Tamil Nadu.
