Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: 2003Subject(s): Department of Clinical Medicine & SurgeryDDC classification: 0822,T Dissertation note: The study showed that all the treatments (control without heat stress, control under heat stress, vitamin C and Betafin) had an effect on weight gain, feed consumed, feed conversion ratio and antibody levels in serum against Newcastle disease virus vaccine. The data showed that group A (control without heat stress) had the highest average weight gain i.e. 1400.15gm per bird followed by group D (Betafin 1354.95gm per bird, group C (vitamin C) 1332.00gm per bird and group B (control under heat stress) 1290.13gm per bird. The highest average feed consumption was observed in group C (vitamin C) 2634.80gm per bird followed by group A (control without heat stress) 2621.00gm per bird, group D (Betafin) 2613.33gm per bird and group B (control with heat stress) 2464.76gm per bird. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) of group B (control with heat stress) i.e., 2.14 was poorest followed by group C (vitamin C), 1.95, group D (Betafin) 1.90 and group A (control without heat stress 1.84. The highest level of antibody titres against Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccine was group A (control without heat stress) i.e. GMT = log2 7.0 followed by Group D (Betafin) GMT = log2 6.6, Group C (vitamin C) GMT = log2 6.0 and Group A (control with heat stress) GMT=log2 4.9. On the basis of results obtained, it could be suggested that desert cooler is one of the appropriate method for minimizing the effect of heat stress and for improving the immune status of birds especially against NDV followed by addition betafin and vitamin C in rations of birds in hot summer season in our country.
