Abstract
Complete blood count and blood chemistry of Samae Dam chickens (Gallus gallus) in smallholder farmers, Thailand as part of the study on production performance of native samae Dam chickens (Gallus gallus) of breeders in small-holder farmers. Complete blood count and blood chemistry were studied in thirty-six healthy small-holder farmers-Samae Dam chickens (Gallus gallus) (male, n = 18; female, n = 18), at the age of 8 months, which had been small-holder farmers at Uthai Thani Province in Thailand. The results found that red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, and MCHC were in the reference range, while male and female Samae Dam chickens (Gallus gallus) of small-holder farmers in Thailand had similar red blood cell and blood chemistry at age 0-3 months the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05), and at the age of 3-6 months and 6-8 months, it was found that male hemoglobin values were higher than female hemoglobin values were significantly different (P<0.05). The average proportion at 8 months of age is as follows: Lymphocytes (43.26±0.44%), neutrophils (42.63±3.65%), white blood cells (35.63±3.65%), monocytes (1.26±0.44%), eosinophils (0.0%) and basophils (11.50±0.36%).
