The present study was aimed to study the haematological and biochemical alterations of naturally occurring colibacillosis in broiler chickens. The haematological parameters studied were haemoglobin, haematocrit, TEC, MCV, MCH, MCHC, MPV, platelet crit, RDW, thrombocytes, TLC, heterophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils. All these parameters in chicken affected with colibacillosis were comparable to non-infected chicken and within normal range. However, the serum biochemistry revealed marked alteration in liver function tests (AST and ALT), total protein, albumen and globulin in infected birds with values of 97.364 ±3.958U/L, 85.093 ± 1.557U/L, 5.431 ± 0.042g/dL, 2.420 ± 0.026g/dL, and 3.011 ± 0.040 g/dL respectively compared to non-infected chicken.
