A total of 360-day-old chicks in a completely randomized block design in a factorial arrangement were used. At 56 days of age one male and one female from each pen were selected, slaughtered and blood samples were collected at slaughtering time for further analysis. After separation of serum, cholesterol, fat components, Cu and vitamin C contents of serum were measured using the relevant methods. Copper, vitamin C, cholesterol, LDL and HDL of serum were significantly (P CP - IRAN IN - LG - eng PB - JCPP PG - 137 PT - Research YR - 2001
