Abstract

Rearing systems influence the welfare and productivity of chickens, which may affect physiological and immune responses, including haematological parameters. Understanding the interaction between different rearing systems and sex onchicken haematology is essential for supporting optimal management strategies and livestock adaptation to the environment.This study aimed to analyze and explore the interaction between sex and different rearing systems on the haematological parameters of IPB D3 chickens. A total of 90 IPB D3 chickens aged 12 weeks were reared for 12 weeks under two different rearing systems. The intensive system housed 45 chickens, 21 males and 24 females, while the free-range system also housed 45 chickens, 21 males and 24 females. Blood samples were collected at 24 weeks from the brachial vein and analyzed for total haematological parameters. Data were analyzed using Student’s t-test, multiple regression with dummy variables, and Pearson’s correlation, with a 5% significance level in R Studio 4.4.0. The results showed that erythrocytes, haemoglobin, haematocrit, erythrocyte indices, and differential leukocytes did not show significant differences (p > 0.05), and no interaction was found between different rearing systems and sex. However, total leukocyte count differed significantly based on the rearing system (p < 0.05) but showed no interaction with sex. In conclusion, different rearing systems do not affect the haematological stability of IPB D3 chickens but do influence leukocyte counts without a correlation to sex. IPB D3 chickens demonstrate strong immunity and good adaptability to the environment, whether reared in an intensive or free-range system.
