The performance and productivity in poultry flocks are affected by
climate change, especially in tropical islands. This study has been
designed to understand the impact of two major seasons viz.
summer (February-June) and rainy (July-September) on biochemical
and immunological traits in three backyard poultry breeds viz.
Desi (non-descript indigenous), Nicobari Fowl, and Vanaraja of
Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, for the first time. Ninety
adult poultry birds were randomly selected from three different
rural villages of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands including Desi
(D, n = 30), Nicobari Fowl (NF, n = 30) and Vanaraja (V, n = 30). Ten
birds each of D, NF and V from each village (sex ratio− 1:1) were
chosen for the study. Serum samples collected (n=/bird/season/
breed) from the three breeds were analysed. The study revealed
that season had significant effect on biochemical parameters, i.e.
serum albumin (p < 0.0001), globulin (p < 0.01), ALP (p < 0.05), total
bilirubin (p < 0.05) and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (p
< 0.05). Moreover, season had significant effect on immune parameters
i.e. IL−2 (p < 0.0001), IL−4 (p < 0.0001), IL−6 (p < 0.0001&p
