Role of Nitroglycerine Injection in Japanese Quail Coturnix japonica in Some Blood Parameters

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate injection of Japanese quail females Countrix japonica with nitro-glycerine (NTG) in blood cells and blood plasma biochemical parameters. In this study 72 females of Japanese quail (45days age) used divided into three groups, three replicates for each one 8 females. Females injected subcutaneous once a week by 0.5 ml of NTG solution by dissolving 500 and 1000 mg of NTG per 100 ml sesame oil for Group1 (G1) and Group2 (G2) respectively while Group0 (G0) left without injection (as a control group). Blood collected from vascular one time every three weeks. Results showed a significant increasing (P≤0.05) in RBC count mean for G2 group compared with other treatments, while there is no significant differences in other blood cells parameters and no significant differences in blood plasma Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentrations for all groups compared with control.
