ABSTRACT
In this study, serum Creatine Phospho Kinase (CPK), Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) and Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GOT) activities were measured in healthy broiler chickens and from broiler chickens that died from Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) within 20 min after death. Blood sample (3 mL) from healthy broiler chickens of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 week of age were obtained by bleeding from the lunar vein. Also, blood samples (3 mL) were obtained by bleeding from the jugular vein during 20 min after broiler chickens died from SDS. Enzyme activities were measured by spectrophotometric methods. Results showed that serum CPK, LDH and GOT activities in broiler chickens died from SDS was increased compared to that in the healthy group. These results suggest that an elevation in serum CPK, LDH and GOT activities occur in association with SDS and may be used as a characteristic sign of birds that are dying of SDS.
