ABSTRACT

 The effects of coccidiosis on the electrolyte levels and uric acid concentration in the blood of poultry birds were measured at weekly intervals and compared with normal controls. The weights of the healthy birds and that of the infected ones were also recorded and compared. At the end of the experiment, it was discovered that the electrolyte levels tested for, fluctuated during the period of infection. The electrolyte levels of the broiler birds and the local bald necked male birds had higher serum uric acid concentrations of 7.00 ± 1.70 and 7.35 ± 0.15mrno1/L respectively. The weights of broiler birds with infection were greatly reduced and the birds appeared dizzy, weaker and leaner than the Harco birds. However, the Harco breeds had higher Na concentrations than the broilers, bald necked and local females, while the local males had the highest sodium lcve! of 173.0 ±13.0 as against 160.0 ±0.0 of Harco during the period f infection.
