This study was conducted to determine the variations in blood parameters (haematology and serum biochemistry) at different ages (in weeks) in male and female Japanese quails. A total of hundred (100) unsexed day-old quail chicks were purchased and sorted based on sex at the third week. Blood samples were collected at the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th week of age from each sex and analysed for the haematological and serum components. The experiment was arranged in a 4 x 2 factorial layout and all data collected were subjected to one way analysis of variance in completely randomized design (CRD) using SPSS version 20 for windows. Haematological indices were not significantly (P> 0.05) influenced by age except (P< 0.05) haemoglobin which increased with increasing age. However, none of the haematological parameters were different (P> 0.05) between the sexes. Total protein, albumin and globulin decreased significantly (P< 0.05) with increasing age, however significant (P< 0.05) increase were noted for serum calcium, Aspartate transaminase (AST) and Alanine transaminase (ALT). Cholesterol was the only serum biochemical parameter that varied significantly (P0.5) effect of interaction between age and sex in quails except (P |
