| Abstract: | Administration of dietary T-2 toxin in 120
days old broiler chicks led to significant lower body weights and increase in
feed conversion ratio from 2nd week of age. There was significant reduction
in haemoglobin and packed cell volume in T-2 toxicated birds at 4 ppm level
only. The other hematological parameters like TEC, TLC and absolute leucocyte
count did not showed any variation due to T-2 toxin in feed. Significant
reduction in serum total protein and cholesterol levels and rise in serum uric
acid and LDH levels of broilers were observed due to dietary T-2 toxin. The
result suggests that T-2 toxin is toxic to broilers even at very low
concentrations. |
