Evaluation of Bio-Accumulation Stress in Chicken byArsenite: A Haematological Case Study

Broiler is consumed by human populationin large quantities. Its brooding conditions are veryimportant due to their linkage with the financial impacts involved in poultry industry. Thesebrooding conditions are not only vital due to economic reasons but also extremely important dueto health impacts on chickens and human population being terminal consumers. As (III) presencein the drinking water is resulted in bio-accumulation inchicks being brooded under otherwisesimilar conditions except drinking water. This bio-accumulation disturbs the eco-physiological andblood parameters. Haematological studies ofanti-coagulated and serum blood samples coreparameters reveals that As (III) contamination in drinking water is the significant source ofadverse disturbance of blood parameters of red bloodcell, white blood cell, hemoglobin, packedcell volume,sodium, calcium, potassium ions, albumin, urea, creatinine and cholesterol, with ahighly significant p value of less than 0.01 after 14thbrooding day withbio-accumulation of 25.8μg/L of As (III) in blood samples.
