Summary
Studies on the activity of lactate and malate dehydrogenases in the blood serum of ‘Leghorn’, ‘Greenleg’ and ‘White Rock’ chickens and their crossbreds have shown that:
-
1.
The highest activity of both enzymes occurs in ‘Greenleg’ chicken, and the lowest in the ‘Leghorn’ birds.
-
2.
The mean activity of both enzymes in crossbreds was considerably higher than that obtained for the control, purebred birds.
-
3.
The mean activity of both enzymes was higher for crossbreds than for the whole population.
