Ambient temperature and relative humidity influenced packed cell volume, total plasma protein and other variables in horses during an incremental submaximal field exercise test

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of transport 12 hours on haematological and some biochemical responses of local Indonesian sheeps. Ten adults (2.0-2.5 years) male local Indonesian sheeps BW adult 30-40 kg were transported by L-300 pickup truck starting at 3:00 pm to 3:00 am on the d 2 without stopping. Jugular blood were collecte-d at 7 am (-8 h pre- transportation as baseline), 15:00 immadiately after (0 h), 19:00 (4 h), 23:00 (8 h) , 03.00 (12 h ), and at 11.00 d 2 (+8 h) post- transportation as recovery period). Under the conditions of the present study, transport of local Indonesian sheeps significantly increased glucose during 4 h transport (P <0.05), increased eosinophil at 0 h (P <0.05) and no significant changed in erythrocytes, haemoglobin , monocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, leukocytes, packed cell volume (PCV), and total plasma protein (TPP) (P> 0.05). Our findings showed that transportation 12 h affected eosinophil during 0 h and glucose metabolism during 4 h of transportation, but did not any affect on some haematology and dehydration responses in local Indonesian sheeps.

Urine samples for bacterial cultures (697) and (604) blood samples for packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentration total plasma protein , blood urea nitrogen and creatinine level were collected farms and veterinary clinics (control) and two cow stations in Al- Latifia and Al Dijala. The bacterial cultures revealed negative results in the control cows , while bacteria isolated from urine samples in the two stations were similar, and they were Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium renale, haemolytic Escherchia coli . and Corynebacterium pyogenes ( 32, 35,15,8) in Al- Latifia station and (84,136,135,8) in Al-Dijala station respectively Blood examination showed that packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentration, and total plasma protein showed low levels in Al- Dijala , while blood urea nitrogen and creatinine level showed higher levels in the same coup of cows in comparision with the control and Al Latifia cows. Infectious pustular vulvovaginitis infected the reproductive system of all cows examined in the Al - Dijala station was behined the 100% bacterial isolate . The numbers of bacterial colonies in cultures from this ststion were more than ( 100000 ) coloni / cc. urine. The prevelance of urinary infection at the age of 3, 4,5,6,7years was 6.25% ; 16.47% , 25.71% , 27.77% and 20.75% respectively and the over all present of bacterial isolates in this study was 36.4%.

Significant Difference

A study of blood parasites in small wild non-flying mammals was undertaken in three areas of the Atlantic Forest in Southeastern Brazil: Serra de Itatiaia, RJ, Serra da Bocaina, SP and Serra da Fartura, SP, from June 1999 to May 2001. A total of 450 animals (15 species) were captured in traps and it was observed in 15.5% of the blood smears the presence of Haemobartonella sp. and Babesia sp. in red blood cells. There was no statistically significant difference between parasited and non-parasited specimens regarding total plasma protein, packed cell volume and body weight, which strongly suggests that these specimens might be parasite reservoirs.

Total Plasma Protein

This study determined the plasma volume (PV) and ion responses to heat acclimation and exercise in six trained Thoroughbred horses during 21 days of exposure to heat and humidity (33°C, 83% relative humidity) for 4 h/day. During the 2nd h on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21, horses performed a standardized treadmill test, running at 50% of peak O2uptake until pulmonary artery temperature reached 41.5°C. Heat acclimation resulted in an increase in PV from 21.3 ± 1.1 liters on day 0 to 24.3 ± 1.0 liters on day 14, returning to 22.6 ± 0.9 liters on day 21. The corresponding total plasma protein contents were 1,273 ± 53, 1,455 ± 81, and 1,377 ± 57 g, respectively, and increases in total plasma Na+ plus Cl− content were 5,145 ± 126, 5,749 ± 146, and 5,394 ± 114 mmol, respectively. Thus changes in PV were accompanied by direct changes in plasma protein and osmolyte contents. With exercise on day 0, PV decreased by 7.1 ± 0.7% at 5 min of exercise and remained decreased (−6.7 ± 1.3%) at 5 min of recovery. By day 21, PV decreased significantly less than on day 0 (by 5.2 ± 0.9% at 5 min of exercise), was decreased by only 2.0 ± 1.6% at 5 min of recovery, and was fully restored at 15 min of recovery. Plasma Na+ concentration increased 3 meq/l during the first 5 min of exercise and was normalized by 5 min of recovery on day 0 and by end exercise on day 21. It is concluded that improved ability to regulate PV during exercise in response to heat acclimatization is associated with an increased PV and an improved conservation of Na+.

Stage T1

This study aimed to evaluate the physiological, haematological and biochemical changes during a treadmill incremental exercise test (IET). Animals were submitted to five stages of 6 min each, at 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 mph, at an inclination of 5%. Blood samples were collected at rest (T0), immediately after exercise (T5) and after a 20 min rest period (T6), to determine complete blood count, urea, creatinine, creatine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, total plasma protein, albumin, alkaline phosphatase (AP), cholesterol, triglycerides (Trig), Ca2+, Na+, K+ and Cl-. Blood lactate (BL), heart rate (HR), rectal temperature (RT) and glycaemia were measured at rest (T0), after each stage (T1-T5) and after the rest period (T6). Variations were recorded between T0 and T5 in red blood cells, haemoglobin, AP, Na+, K+ (P<0.01), Trig (P<0.05), Ca2+ and Cl- (P<0.02). Differences were observed in BL at T5 (P<0.02) and T6 (P<0.02), RT at T2-T6 (P<0.01), HR at T3-T5 (P<0.01) and glycaemia at T2-T4 (P<0.01) and T5 (P<0.05). This study is a novel description of the shifts of physical fit police working dogs during this IET protocol.
