Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate the assessment of health status through blood profiling and fecal parasite analysis in captive Indian Peafowl in Punjab. The total 100 blood and fecal samples were collected to determine hematological parameters and prevalence of parasites. The mean value of RBC?s, Hgb, HCT, MCV, MCHC were non significant (P>0.05) between all mutant types of Indian Peafowl. The comparison of mean values of MCH between Black Shoulder Peafowl as compared to other types were statistically highly significant (P<0.01). The comparison of mean value of WBC?s, PLT were statistically non significant (P>0.05). The mean value of granulocytes between Common Peafowl as compared to all other types were highly significant (P<0.01). The plasma chemical values shows that mean value of Urea, ALT and AST were highly significant (P<0.01) between White Peafowl and Common Peafowl while in all other types were non-significant (P>0.05). The mean value of creatinine was significantly different among Common Peafowl and Pied Peafowl as compared to others. The comparison of plasma chemistry parameters between male and female shows that the quantity of Iron was significantly higher in female and Total Protein was higher in male and all the other parameters were non-significant (P>0.05). The overall prevalence of endoparasites in all the types was 58%. The prevalence of endoparasites among all the Indian Peafowl were ranged from 46.6% - 66.7%. The highest prevalence was recorded in Black Shoulder Peafowl 66.7% followed by Pied Peafowl, White Peafowl and Common Peafowl 66.1%, 59.1%, 46.6% respectively. The prevalence of endoparasites was highest 74.3% at Gatwala Wildlife Park, Faisalabad and lowest 30% at Changa Manga Wildlife Park, Kasur. The overall higher prevalence in female Indian Peafowl as compared to male was recorded. The total seven species of endoparasites in Indian Peafowl were recorded i.e Ascaridia spp, Eimeria spp, capillaria spp, Giardia spp, strongyloides spp, syngamous spp and Heterakis spp. The present study provides base line value of hematology and plasma chemistry of apparently healthy Indian Peafowl in captivity and can be used as reference values to improve the management practices of this species. The high prevalence of parasites needs to be re-evaluated to assess efficacy and possible nematodicide resistance of these parasites.
