COMPARISON OF SERUM BIOCHEMISTRY IN LAYING & NONLAYING JAPANESE QUAIL

Abstract

\------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The study was conducted to get an idea on the biochemical value of some selected parameter in serum. The study was targeted to compare some values in serum between laying & nonlaying quail. It has been found that the average calcium & phosphorus level in serum was lower in laying quail than in nonlaying quail. The study found that the average level of glucose, total protein, albumin, calcium & phosphorus in serum of laying quail was 20.56mg/dL, 36.54g/L, 8.67g/L, 15.94mg/dL, 8.17mg/dL respectively. On the other hand those values in nonlaying quail were 19.17mg/dL, 39.23g/L, 12.69g/L, 14.18mg/dL, 6.74mg/dL of serum respectively
