Newcastle disease has been reported to induce high mortality rate among young chicks. Variations in the different Newcastle strains were found to be an effective way to avoid mortality rates (Lancaster, 1966). Damage to an organ or tissue is often followed by appearance of abnormal amounts of certain enzymes of intercellular origin in plasma. the liver is rich in some enzymes and its damage often releases certain enzymes into the blood. Measurment of enzyme activity namely glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic-gyruvic transaminase (GPT) and lactic-dehydrogenase (LDH) has been used as tests for liver function (Cornelus and Kaneko, 1963). Cornelius et al. (1959) were not able to detect any GPT activity in serum of adult white plymouth Rock fowls. While McDaniel and Chute (1961) succeeded in detecting only a very feeble GP1 activity in plasma of chickens.
