Abstract
ABSTRACT The performance and productivity in poultry flocks are affected by climate change, especially in tropical islands. This study has been designed to understand the impact of two major seasons viz. summer (February-June) and rainy (July-September) on biochemical and immunological traits in three backyard poultry breeds viz. Desi (non-descript indigenous), Nicobari Fowl, and Vanaraja of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, for the first time. Ninety adult poultry birds were randomly selected from three different rural villages of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands including Desi (D, n = 30), Nicobari Fowl (NF, n = 30) and Vanaraja (V, n = 30). Ten birds each of D, NF and V from each village (sex ratio− 1:1) were chosen for the study. Serum samples collected (n=/bird/season/breed) from the three breeds were analysed. The study revealed that season had significant effect on biochemical parameters, i.e. serum albumin (p < 0.0001), globulin (p < 0.01), ALP (p < 0.05), total bilirubin (p < 0.05) and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (p < 0.05). Moreover, season had significant effect on immune parameters i.e. IL−2 (p < 0.0001), IL−4 (p < 0.0001), IL−6 (p < 0.0001&p < 0.05), HSP−70 (p < 0.0001&p < 0.01), TLR−4 (p < 0.01&p < 0.05) and INF-γ (p < 0.0001). It was observed that breed had significant effect on total bilirubin (D-V & NF-V, p < 0.0001), serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (NF-V, p < 0.01 &D-V, p < 0.05). And also had significant effect on. IL−2 (D-NF, p < 0.001 &NF-V, p < 0.01), IL−4 (D-NF& D-V, p < 0.0001;NF-V, p < 0.05; D-V&NF-V, p < 0.01), IL−6 (D-NF & D-V, p < 0.0001), HSP−70 (D-NF & D-V, p < 0.0001; D-NF p < 0.01; NF-V, p < 0.05), and INF-γ (D-NF & D-V, p < 0.0001&D-NF, p < 0.05). This study could establish the seasonal influence on biochemical and immunological traits of rural backyard poultry breeds in tropical climate of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
期刊介绍:
The principal aim of Biological Rhythm Research is to cover any aspect of research into the broad topic of biological rhythms. The area covered can range from studies at the genetic or molecular level to those of behavioural or clinical topics. It can also include ultradian, circadian, infradian or annual rhythms. In this way, the Editorial Board tries to stimulate interdisciplinary rhythm research. Such an aim reflects not only the similarity of the methods used in different fields of chronobiology, but also the fact that many influences that exert controlling or masking effects are common. Amongst the controlling factors, attention is paid to the effects of climate change on living organisms. So, papers dealing with biometeorological aspects can also be submitted.
The Journal publishes original scientific research papers, review papers, short notes on research in progress, book reviews and summaries of activities, symposia and congresses of national and international organizations dealing with rhythmic phenomena.
