TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF CARBARYL ON HEMATOLOGICAL PROFILES IN BROILER CHICKS

Abstract

The objective of this work is assessment of the toxicological effects of carbaryl in the blood parameters of broiler chicks. Twenty day-old chicks were assigned to four treatments of 0mg/kgb.w. , 15mg/kgb.w. , 20mg/kgb.w. , and 25mg/kgb.w. of carbaryl. Total-red blood cell count (T-RBC) significantly increased in the carbaryl supplemented group. Insignificant decrease was found in mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and in mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) in carbaryl treated groups. Insignificant increase was found in mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in carbaryl treated groups.
