Abstract :Twenty adult apparently healthy Muscovy ducks Cairina moschata insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10 males, 10 females); were used in a study to compare between sexes blood serum alanine aminotransferase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ALT);, aspartate aminotransferase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ALT);, alkaline phosphatase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ALP);, total protein, albumin, and total bilirubin profiles using jugular venous blood. Comparative biometric measurements insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(weight, length, width and thickness); of their liver organs were also done. Total protein and albumin were significantly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P 0.05); by sex. The biometric measurements of the liver of Muscovy ducks according to sex were significantly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P 0.05); in both sexes. Therefore, sex had a significant influence on serum total protein and albumin, as well as the biometric measurements of the liver of Muscovy ducks studied.
