Abstract—Twenty strains of local laying birds of the Dominant Black (DBK), Frizzle Birds (FB), Naked- Neck (NK) and Normal feathers Birds (NB) each were used to access the relationship between plasma lipid and egg lipid profile in our local breeds of layers. The experiment was laid out in a simple randomized design and result shows that significant differences exist in plasma and egg lipid profile as a result of breed¡¯s variation in laying birds. Total cholesterol (TC) in yolk range from 602.0+ 30.0 to 618.0+ 30.0mg/dl and that of plasma TC range from 220.0+ 25.0 to 360.0+ 30.0 mg/dl, while the value of Albumen TC were in traces and ranges from6.0+ 2.0to12.0+ 1.5mmg/ dl. While other parameters examined such as triglycerdes, high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein
Index Terms—Dissolved oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Yamuna River, Heavy Metals
