The effect of excess dietary manganese on uninfected and Ascaridia galli infected chicks.

چکیده
The effect of dietary manganese from two different sources on chicks (uninfected and infected with Ascaridia galli) was studied. Chick diet was supplemented with 0.9 g Mn2+ kg-1 food either in the form of MnSO4.H2O or 2Gly. MnCl2.2H2O for 20 days. Chicks were divided into six groups: group 0, control; group 1, control + MnSO4.H2O; group 2, control + 2Gly.MnCl2.2H2O; group 3, infected with A. galli; group 4, infected with A. galli + MnSO4.H2O; and group 5, infected with A. galli + 2Gly.MnCl2.2H2O. Body weight, mortality, worn burden, and liver manganese content were investigated. Excess dietary manganese increased weights and manganese level, but mortality and worm burden were unaffected. A greater bioavailability of manganese from 2Gly.MnCl2.2H2O was established.

The enteric nematode parasite Ascaridia galli modulate the immune system, of the hosts and eventually leads to malnutrition in the chicks which eventually results in the decreased return of products derived from poultry. The accurate interpretation of avian plasma proteins and the dramatic changes in protein fraction are important events in several diseases and may help in procuring a diagnosis...
متن کاملChanges in the Biochemical Parameters of Experimental Chicks Due to Ascaridia galli Infection
The W.L.H. chicks carrying A. galli infectioin showed ascridiasis and anemia. The biochemical responses such as glucose, protein, cholesterol, urea, acid phosphates and alkaline phosphatase level after 16 days and 32 days at low dose and high dose of infection were studied. The infection showed a significant increase in serum cholesterol and serum urea levels in all the experimental cases. The ...

Pasteurella multocida and Ascaridia galli are observed with high prevalences in free range chickens in Denmark, but the impact is unknown. A study was carried out to examine the interaction between A. galli and P. multocida in chickens and the impact on production. Five groups, each with 20 18-week-old Lohmann Brown chickens were infected. Group 1 was orally infected with 1000+/-50 embryonated ...
