abstract
A strong gale had uprooted many trees in koonthankulam bird sanctuary in Tirunelveli district during the Month of April, 2019. Around 133 more birds were injured, 68 were killed and 13 were critically injured with fractures in the wings and legs. The 13 injured birds were brought to the Veterinary clinical complex, VCRI, Tirunelveli for further investigation and treatment. On clinical examination, the birds were injured badly and fractures were identified at various sites like femur, tibiotarsus, tarsometatarsal and humerus region. The blood sample were collected from the wing vein and analysed for the haematobiochemical alterations. The haematological values revealed significant changes like reduction in values of haemoglobin, packed cell volume, Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The biochemical values revealed abnormal increase in alkaline phosphatase enzyme (ALP) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and creatine phosphokinase (Cpk). The changes in haematobiochemical values of the painted storks with fracture were presented and discussed.
