The aim of this study was to examine possible toxic effect of different concentration of mercury, for a 19 days treatment period, on the hematological indicators, in birds for eggs of hybrid Isa brown. Birds are divided in four groups. One group was used as control and three groups were treated with different doses of mercury chlorate (50mg Hg/l, 100mg/l and 200mg/l). The amount of mercury salts was given to birds with drinkable water. At the end of the experiment, blood is tacked in all 4 groups. The blood was taken in the crucibles with heparin in amount 100 UI heparin for each ml blood taken. In blood we have analyzed: RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, PLT, MPV, PCT and PDW. Statistical elaboration of hematological parameters was done with ANOVA method by determining the average of each indicator; SD, SEM and t-statistic.Probability is determined by a tabular method. From the results we can conclude that hematological indicators generally have differences ascertained statistically between the control and experimental groups and within experimental groups during the use of mercury, whereas the level of PDW does not present differences statistically ascertained.
