The effect of the zinc preparation "Asparzink" on the morphological parameters of pheasant blood

Abstract

The article presents the results of studies on the effect of the drug "Asparzink" on the morphological parameters of pheasant blood. For the prevention of zinc deficiency conditions, various additives have been often used recently. One of them is "Asparzink", which includes zinc asparginate. However, its effect on blood morphological parameters has not been fully established. The aim of the work was to study the effect of the zinc preparation "Asparzink" on the morphological parameters of pheasant blood. The studies were carried out on pheasants of the North Caucasian breed. Pheasants were kept in the conditions of the GBU of JSC "Directorate of Southern PLO and GOH "Astrakhan". Hematological parameters were determined on Mindray BC-2800 Vet (China). It was found out that the studied compound has a pronounced positive effect on the morphological parameters of peripheral blood, which is expressed by an increase in the number of red blood cells by 18.7 and 19.3%, hemoglobin levels by 10.7 and 14.6%, average volume of red blood cells by 12.0 and 13.8%, hematocrit levels by 13.9 and 19.4% when administered at a dose of 1 and 2 mg/kg, respectively. An increase in the number of monocytes and basophils was determined. The most effective dose is 2 mg/kg of body weight.
