Hematological parameters of quails in the biogeochemical conditions of Astrakhan region

At the present stage of development of agricultural production, the cultivation of poultry, in particular quails, which are distinguished by rapid growth, development and their productive qualities, is important for most regions of the Russian Federation. And since this species of bird is characterized by a high level of metabolism, quails are very sensitive to a deficiency of physiologically important trace elements, especially during the period of acclimatization in various biogeochemical regions of Russia. In this work, hematological parameters of quails in the arid zone of the Lower Volga region are studied. It has been established that a high level of formed elements, glucose and low -selenium, iodine and alkaline blood reserve, taking into account the reduction in the egg-laying function of quails in biogeochemical conditions of the Astrakhan region, indicates the presence of signs of the syndrome of the latent form of hypomicroelementosis in birds. However, for final diagnosis of the syndrome of the latent form of hypoelementosis, it is necessary to comprehensively study the state of free radical oxidation and the activity of the antioxidant system of birds acclimatized under biogeochemical conditions of low levels of Se, J and Co in the Astrakhan region.
