Abstract:- Cypermethrin is a widely used pesticide based on pyrethroids. It is amongst the most effective pyrethroid preparations. The major target site of cypermethrin is the sodium channel of the nerve membrane. The present investigation was aimed to study the hepatotoxic effect of Cypermethrin at different dosages by estimating ASAT and ALAT enzyme levels in serum and the effect of Cypermethrin on weight gain of poultry birds. Cypermethrin was mixed with edible refined oil to prepare the feeding solution in the concentrations of 25 and 50 mg/kg body weight and fed to 18 birds in three groups for seven consecutive days. Birds treated with 1ml of refined oil served as Control (Gr I), 0.5ml of Cypermethrin solution @ 25 mg/kg body weight (Gr II) and with 0.25 ml of Cypermethrin solution @ 50 mg/kg body weight (Gr III) .The Gr II and GrIII showed a rapid rise in serum ASAT and ALAT levels and gained weight after 5th week of age indicating the hepatotoxic effect of Cypermethrin.
Key Words:- Cypermethrin, ASAT, ALAT, Hepatotoxic. |
