A thesis on studies of biochemical alteraticns in some poultry diseases in the arab republic of Egypt

For Derforming this work, blood and serum sam”f)les were collected from normal Nicols chicken, others affected vlith vitamin ,Ij. defioiency t fowl cholera or mucoplasmosis. ’J~he ar.;ewas ran~ing from 6 to 8 weeks in all cases. They were all und.er the same conditions of feeding and hygienic mea suz’emerrt s , Pfl.RT (1) A) BLC29D ?aTROGET\~OT}.s.. COfTSTITUENTS The total nitrogen of normal chicken was 1657.52 mg per 100 m l., The non-The t;o-Gal proteins were 9.985 ± 0.142 g per 100 ml b Lood ,The uric acid content was 6.02 ± 0.13 mg % and tot3l creat-inine was 1.595 + 0.134 mg %. > 2) In vitamin A deficient cases, the total nitrogen was 1617.0mg ?b, while the non protein nitrogen wa s 54.95 ± 1.90 In:’; %.

The statistical analysis 01 the nitro~en- ous constituents of vitamin A deficient cases showed a non sipniiicant chan~e in the total nitrogen, non-protein ni-tro?,en and total blood proteins. There was a sigl1ificant increase in uric acid
