Determination of Blood Pressure Indixes in Broiler Chickens and Rabbits to Assess Cardiovascular Function

Abstract
The determination of blood pressure in animals is important for the assessment of the cardiovascular system, especially in the clinical diagnosis of diseases, and as a criterion of factors acting on the tested organism. At the same time, the data on the study of blood pressure in birds are poorly presented in modern scientific literature, and blood pressure indixes of rabbits have been studied earlier, but opinions about their values within the physiological norm vary greatly. The purpose of our work was to develop a method of measuring blood pressure in broiler chickens and rabbits using a modern portable tonometer PetMAP graphic II, Cardio Command. The results of the research showed that the blood pressure in broiler chickens is significantly higher than that in rabbits. The differences are explained by the peculiarities of the metabolism and functioning of the cardiac system, namely: a shorter cardiac cycle in birds than in mammals.
Supporting agencies: The research was funded by RNF grant No. 23-26-00124 “Development of a method to reduce pain syndrome during intramuscular injection of trypsin in animals”.
