The difference in Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility (EOF) and haematologic
parameters among two pure (Marshal and Ross) and a Hubbard-Anak cross breeds
of 9-week-old broiler chickens were evaluated in this study. There was a statistically
significant (P<0.05) decrease in EOF in Marshall breed at NaCl concentrations
of 0.5% when compared to other breeds. However, Ross breed had the highest EOF
at this NaCl concentration. Haematologic parameters of Packed Cell Volume (PCV),
haemoglobin concentration, Red Blood Cell (RBC) count, erythrocytic indices
and differential leucocyte counts were not significantly different (P>0.05)
among the three breeds. In conclusion, this result revealed a breed difference
in EOF and that erythrocyte membranes are osmotically more stable in Marshal
breed of broiler chickens. |

The aim of this study was to evaluate the features of induced abortion and post-abortion oestrous cycles pattern following treatment with prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) in Sokoto Red (SR) goats. Twelve apparently healthy goats made up of 6 pregnant and 6 non-pregnant (cycling) does were used for the study. Each doe was given a single intramuscular injection of 7.5 mg PGF2α. All the 6 pregnant does treated with PGF2α aborted within 72.0±12.4 h post-treatment. Of the 6 does that aborted, 5 (83.3%) showed oestrus subsequently while 4 (66.7%) out of the 6 non-pregnant does were induced to oestrus. Time interval to induced oestrus was 129.6±36.1 and 50.0±11.5 h for the aborted and non-pregnant does, respectively. Mean duration of oestrus for the aborted and non-pregnant does was 46.9±9.6 and 38.7±4.3 h, respectively. The first and second post-abortion oestrous cycle lengths were 6.5±0.5 and 12.5±8.5 days, respectively. While the first and second post-treatment cycle lengths in the non-pregnant does was 22.5±1.2 and 21.3±0.3 days, respectively. It is concluded that a single dose of 7.5 mg PGF2α is sufficient to induce abortion and oestrus simultaneously in SR goats. However, the post-abortion cycles are short. |
