A Study on Serum Biochemistry and Hematological Profiling of Blue Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) in Multan (Punjab, Pakistan)

Summary, in English

Thirty wild blue rock pigeons (Columba livia) were caught from Multan city (Pakistan). Hematological values were established for total red blood cells, total white blood cells, packed cell volume, hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and differential leukocyte count. Serum bio chemistry values were determined for glucose (294 +/- 95.1), urea (17.9 +/- 4.9 mg/di), cholesterol (250.3 +/- 57.2 mg/di), creatinine (0.41 +/- 0.2 mg/dl), lactate dehydrogenase (1069 +/- 581), total protein (9.8 +/- 0.7 mg/dl), alanine aminotransferase (75.9 +/- 64.3) and aspratate aminotransferase (297.2 +/- 177) as indicator of bird health and can be used in the future as a reference values in hematology and serum biochemistry of blue rock pigeon.
