Influence of Electroactevated Reduced Water on the Blood Biochemical Profiles of White Pekin Duck

Abstract

The aim of the current study was to determine the influence of electroactivated reduced water (catholyte) on the blood biochemical parameters of domestic duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus). Blood samples from 20 ducks divided in two groups (experimental, n=10 and control group, n=10) were taken twice to estimate the dynamics of the potential alterations. The activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), creatinine (CREAT), urea, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in serum were measured. Results showed serum biochemistry values within the physiological range. Differences between groups were insignificant. It can be therefore concluded that treatment with electroactivated reduced water had neutral effect on blood biochemical profiles of the tested animals.
