Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate the changes in the serum biochemical profile of the broiler chickens experimentally infected with Ascaridia galli. The infected birds showed changes in the level of glucose, cholesterol, total protein, albumin, magnesium, potassium and SGPT. The serum level of the above metabolites and SGPT initially decreased with progress of infection except for cholesterol and potassium level.
