Abstract
The use of NSAIDs in stress conditions, like summer heat stress, winter cold
stress, vaccination and drug intake stress may help to prevent or minimize the
disease outbreaks in poultry birds. This study was planned to investigate the
effects caused by short term and prolonged use of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA),
acetaminophen (APAP) and ibuprofen with different combinations in broilers and
their association with heat shock protein 70, i.e., to determine the safe level
of NSAID’s use in poultry. For this purpose, total 200 day-old broiler chicks
were procured and performed study having 42 days. The broilers were equally
disseminated at 10th day into A-D groups, where group A act as
control negative. The B, C and D groups were divided into different subgroups.
In current experiment, using completely randomized design three levels in
different combinations with different doses of NSAIDs were given orally in
drinking water from day 10 to 32 of age of birds. The NSAIDs had no effect on
hematological parameters while, immunological parameters showed significant
results according to dose manner of NSAIDs especially in treatment groups (APAP
@160 mg/L, ASA @1200 mg/L), (APAP @90mg/L, ibuprofen @60 mg/L) and (APAP @160
mg/L, ibuprofen @120 mg/L) as compared to control negative. The gene expression
of HSP-70 in treated groups (ASA @600 mg/L, ibuprofen @60 mg/L), (ASA @1200
mg/L, ibuprofen @120 mg/L), (APAP @ 30mg/L, ASA @300 mg/L), (APAP @ 90mg/L, ASA
@600 mg/L), (APAP @ 160mg/L, ASA @1200 mg/L) and (APAP @160mg/L, ibuprofen
@120mg/L) had significant results as compared to control negative group.
The study presented that low and medium doses of NSAIDs could be used as
possible substitute for antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs for
poultry. The toxicity due to excess dose of APAP in different combinations was
also observed.
