English : Effect of blood groups on some physiological parameters of chickens
Arabic : تأثير مجاميع الدم على بعض الصفات الفسيولوجية في الدجاج
Abstract Two breeds of chickens, White Leghorn and Fayoumi, segregating for six different B-blood group genotypes (Four B haplotypes B1. B2, B13 and B19 were identified in White Leghorn breed, while only two B haplotypes By and B were identified in Fayoumi breed) were used to study the effect of B-blood group genotypes on some physiological traits in chickens. The results revealed that the ejaculate volume, sperm motility and live sperm percentage were insignificantly higher in Fayoumi than White Leghorn cocks. However, the sperm concentration was significantly higher (P<0.05) in Fayoumi than in White Leghorn cocks. The differences among B-blood group genotypes of White Leghorn breed were highly significant (P<0.05) for ejaculate volume and semen pH and not significant for sperms motility, abnormality %, live sperms % and concentration of sperms. There were significant differences (P<0.0l) due to B-blood group genotypes effect on only ejaculate volume in Fayoumi breed Seminal plasma total protein, globulin (G) and calcium (Ca) were significantly higher (P<0.01) in White Leghorn than Fayoumi cocks. An opposite trend was true for seminal plasma albumin (A) ,A/G ratio, inorganic phosphorus( I P ), IP/Ca ratio and alkaline phosphatase activity. B1 B1 genotype was higher in seminal plasma total protein, globulin, calcium and alkaline phosphatase than other genotypes of White Leghorn, the differences in this respect, were highly significant (P<0.0l). Meanwhile, By By genotype was higher than B'B'genotype of Fayoumi breed for seminal plasma total protein, globulin and alkaline phosphatase activity. An opposite trend was observed for seminal plasma calcium, inorganic phosphorus and Ca/IP.: ratio. Seminal plasma acid phosphatase in both breeds and B-blood group genotypes was quite similar. Body, skin and fiat her temperature in White Leghorn was higher than in Fayoumi breed The differences, in this respect, were highly significant (P<0.0l) for skin temperature and not significant for body and feather temperature. The differences among B-blood group genotypes for body, skin and feather temperature were not significant in either White Leghorn or Fayoumi breeds. The respiration rate in Fayoumi was significantly higher (P<0.0l) than in White Leghorn breed B19 B19 genotype of White Leghorn was significantly (P<0.05) higher for respiration rate than other genotypes.
