Abstract: Serum cytokine level in three different varieties of duck namely Pati, Khaki Campbell and Nageswari from different parts of the state were evaluated in healthy state and during disease outbreak. The Cytokine profile namely IL-6, IL-4 and IL-10 were estimated using Enzyme Linked immune-sorbent assay and expressed in pg/ml. The IL 6 level of Pati duck during health and disease conditions were recorded as 7.71 ±0.35 pg/ml and 7.40±0.45 pg/ ml respectively. Both The Pati and Nageswari breed of ducks showed a non significant decrease in the IL 6 level during disease outbreak. The present study showed a significant increase (P<0.05) in IL 4 level of diseased Khaki Campbell breed (15.25 ±0.43 pg/ml) than that of the healthy ones (12.32 ±1.39 pg/ml). The IL 4 level in the healthy Nageswari breed of ducks were recorded to be 11.29 ±0.52 pg/ml) and during disease outbreak it was observed to be significantly (P<0.05) higher than the healthy state (15.34 ±0.51 pg/ml). Statistical analysis showed that there is a significant rise (P<0.05) in the level of serum IL 10 during disease outbreak in all the three varieties of duck as compared to that of the healthy ducks. From the present study, it can be concluded that there was a rise in the level of cytokines in the duck during duck plague outbreak which indicates a relationship between various diseases of duck and the host immune responses.
