The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of heat stress on hematological profile (hemoglobin, erythrocytes, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, leucocyte, granulocyte, lymphocytes, MID) in blood of Native chickens. Total of 32 “Gaok” native chickens (18-week) were redesigned into CRD (completely randomized design) 2x2 factor arrangement. The first factor was the temperature condition in indoor and outdoor pen. The second factor was with and without supplementation Vitamin C. Blood samples were collected on 3 days during treatment. Results indicated that treated with heat stress was showed not significant effect on Hemoglobin, erythrocytes, MCV, MCH, MCHC, leucocyte, lymphocytes, granulocytes. Heat stress pressure had significantly (p<0.05) increase in the water consumption and feed intake. The result provides a new information that Gaok chickens was resistant to heat stress without any effect on immune response and blood cell metabolic.
