Abstract
Newly hatched white leghorn chicks (Gallus domesticus) subjected to single whole body 2.25 Gy (225 rads) gamma radiation exposure at the dose rate of 0.50 Gy/sec (50 rads/sec), were studied for changes in a number of haematological parameters at days 1,3,5,7,14 and 28 post irradiation during development. The sudden decline and gradual recovery in total RBC and WBC counts and the level of Hb and Hct along with MCV, MCH and MCHC values evaluation indicates a high regenerative capability of leghorn chicks.
