Background and Aim: Determining reference values for hematological and biochemical parameters of Asian house shrew (Suncus murinus) is important for wildlife research to protect human health in surrounding communities. This study aimed to establish the reference values for selected hematology and serum clinical chemistry analyses that may contribute to research on shrew in future. Materials and Methods: Blood samples (n=51) were collected from shrews between July and December 2015, Bangladesh, to estimate the levels of hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), total leukocyte count (TLC), total erythrocyte count (TEC), lymphocyte, monocyte, neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, calcium, phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), chloride (Cl), urea, glucose, total protein (TP), creatinine, and alanine transaminase (ALT). Results: Although the values did not differ significantly among sexes, age was found to be a significant factor. Hb, PCV, TEC, glucose, and P were higher in males; eosinophil, Na, Cl, TP, and ALT were higher among females. Adults had significantly greater urea and glucose (p<0.05) while juveniles had insignificantly higher values for TLC, PCV, neutrophil, P, and TP. Conclusion: This study provides the first reference values for this species in Bangladesh and can be used to guide wildlife research studies.

This study aimed to analyze the hemato profile of crossbred lactating cows reared at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) Dairy Farm. Thirty-two (32) healthy crossbred lactating cows of Holstein-Frisian (HF), Jersey (J), Sindhi Sahiwal (SS) and Red Chittagong (RCC) were selected for the study and divided into four (04) groups. The cows were allowed to feed and manage according to dairy farm own scheduled-ration. The collected blood samples were analyzed for hematological and biochemical parameters viz. Hemoglobin (Hb), Packed cell volume (PCV), Total leukocyte count (TLC), and Total erythrocyte count (TEC) and Serum urea, Glucose, Albumin, Calcium, and Phosphorus, respectively by using an automated chemistry analyzer. The results revealed that the hematological and biochemical parameters non-significantly (p>0.05) differed between the crossbred groups. From the experiment, the higher amount of Hb (11 g/dL) and PCV (40%) was found in HF and RCC cows, respectively. The TLC was higher in SS and RCC but the TEC was recorded stable along with a slight increment in RCC. As far as the biochemical parameters are concerned, the blood urea concentration was found higher (28 mg/dL) in HF and RCC lactating cows. The same pattern was observed in the case of albumin concentration. On the contrary, the lowest value of Calcium was found in RCC but the Phosphorus concentration showed a little higher in RCC. It can be concluded that the overall herd health was satisfactory based on the blood profile parameters. Bang. J. Anim. Sci. 2019. 48 (2): 139-144

In several countries, a lot of researches have shown the toxicity of pesticides on farmers. Meanwhile, few of them have dealt with vegetable farmers in Benin. Therefore, this study has been carried out to assess the effects of pesticides on vegetable farmers’ health. This study is conducted on 30 vegetable farmers who used pesticides and 20 subjects as control group. Pesticides used by vegetable farmers and their risky behavior were investigated. Their blood samples were collected and some tests were performed for hematological and biochemical parameters. For the statistical analysis of the results, Student’s test was used. Our investigations revealed that vegetable farmers of Benin were exposed to different active ingredients of pesticides such as (Abamectin, Acetamiprid, Chlorpyriphos ethyl, Cyfluthrin, Cypermethrin, Emamectin benzoat, Flubendiamid, Lambdacyhalothrin, Mancozeb, Profenofos, Spinosad and Spirotétramate). The hematological parameters showed significant decrease in White blood cell (WBC), Red blood cell (RBC), Hemoglobin (HGB), Hematocrit (HTC), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Platelet (PLT) count among study group. The enzymatic activities of Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) have significantly raised between vegetable farmers and the control group, while the serum concentration in urea and creatinine showed insignificant difference in the study group. These results suggest that pesticides have adverse effects on vegetable farmers of South of Benin.

The aim of this work was a comparative study of the amount of antimicrobial peptides - human neutrophil peptides - defensins (HNP), hepcidin, bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI), and endotoxin in β-thalassemia. Blood samples of 135 patients with thalassemia were investigated. All patients were divided into 3 groups. The first group included patients with heterozygous form (n=45). The second group consisted of patients with homozygous form before splenectomy (n=45). The third group included patients with homozygous form after splenectomy (n=45). The age of patients varied from 2 to 18 years. Biochemical [unconjugated and conjugated bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, hemoglobin, ferritin, aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV)] and immune (IgA, IgM, IgG, phagocytic activity) parameters were defined. Obtained results suggest that increased levels of endogenous antimicrobial peptides are associated with the development of the infectious process and reflect the dynamics of changes in biochemical parameters and immune status.

The current study was carried out to investigate the sub-acute toxicity of 3-O--D-glucopyranosyl-(24)-ethylcholesta-5,22,25-triene, a steroidal glycoside isolated from the flowers of Alangium salviifolium Wang on Long Evan’s rat. After intra-peritoneal administration of the compound at a dose of 300 μg/rat/day for 14 consecutive days, no mortality or significant changes in body weight or behavior were observed. The blood samples of the rats were examined for hematological and biochemical parameters which were statistically insignificant when compared to that of the control group. All the vital organs showed normal histopathological architecture (heart, lungs, liver and kidney) in comparison to the control group. This preliminary investigation demonstrate that the compound is safe at dose of 300 μg/rat/day for 14 consecutive days. But acute, sub-chronic and chronic toxicity evaluations as well as clinical trials need to be done.

SummaryThe aim of this study is to investigate the influence of hemolysis degrees on the values of hematological and biochemical parameters in the blood samples of cows in early lactation. The study included a total of 45 blood samples of cows in early lactation. Out of the total number of samples analyzed, 15 indicated no signs of hemolysis, whereas 15 indicated moderate hemolysis and 15 severe hemolysis. The influence of hemolysis was examined by determining the bias (%) and by means of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that the hemolyzed samples had decreased values of the HCT, RBC, MCV, and increased values of the MCH, MCHC, and PLT. The total number of LEU showed a declining trend with increasing degrees of hemolysis. The changes in the HGB values were not detected despite the visual identification. The hemolysis degrees showed a significant influence on the values of biochemical parameters. The variations in biochemical parameters were less significant in the samples with moderate hemolysis compared to the samples with severe hemolysis. The most hemolysis-sensitive biochemical parameters were the AST, TBIL, TGC, and NEFA as great variations of their values were found even in moderate hemolysis. A slight deviation was noted in the BHB and total protein values. With respect to all the parameters examined, the Wilcoxon test showed significant differences in the samples with moderate and severe hemolysis in comparison with the control group. In conclusion, hemolysis significantly influenced the values of hematological and biochemical parameters in the blood samples analyzed.

Raising chinchilla (Chinchilla laniger) for commercial purpose has increased significantly; however, hematological and serum biochemical reference values have not yet been determined for chinchillas raised in south Brazil. Establishing blood cells and serum biochemistry reference values might be helpful to evaluate health status of chinchillas and might be used as a tool by clinicians. The purpose of this study was to determine the reference values for blood cells and serum biochemistry of Chinchilla laniger. Blood samples were collected by cardiac puncture from 16 adult males, at the time they were killed to remove the fur coat, and from 8 adult males anesthetized with ketamine and xylazine. Blood cell counts and serum biochemistry analysis were performed using standard techniques and the results were expressed as mean ± SEM. Analysis of blood parameters from post-mortem cardiac punctured and from anesthetized chinchillas indicated that blood samples from anesthetized chinchillas had higher PCV, Hemoglobin, MCHC and WBC (P < .05); in contrast, had lower levels of monocytes, basophils and eosinophils (P < .05). Serum biochemical parameters were less affected by sampling method: anesthetized chinchillas had lower levels of urea, glucose and triglycerids (P < .05). The data obtained might be useful as a parameter to monitor the health status of chinchillas raised in south Brazil.

This research was conducted to determine the toxicity of fluvalinate to Lake Van fish (Alburnus tarichi) biometric, hematologic, and serum biochemicals. The fish were exposed to sub lethal fluvalinate concentration for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h for hematological and biochemical analyzes. Red blood cell, hemoglobin and hematocrit values decreased significantly in fish exposed to fluvalinate compared to control group. Significant increases in total leukocyte count were found. Compared with the control group, the serum enzyme aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase activity and serum glucose levels have increased significantly. This synthetic pyrethroid can be said to have a toxic effect on the Lake Van fish and can be used for controlling toxicity.

The experiment was conducted in the Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, for a period of 28 days to study the effects of garlic (Allium sativum, Linn., @100mg/kg bwt.), turmeric (Curcuma longa, Linn., @100mg/kg bwt.)  and betel leaf (Piper betle, Linn., @100mg/kg bwt.) against natural gastrointestinal nematodes in cattle. The effects of garlic, turmeric and betel leaf on some hematological parameters (TEC, Hb, PCV and TLC), biochemical parameters (ALT and AST) and clinical parameter (body weight) were also observed. Twenty four (24) naturally parasitized cattle of BAU Dairy Farm, Mymensingh were randomly divided into four groups, each consisting of six (6) cattle. Water extract of bulbs of garlic were administered orally to the cattle of group A. Cattle of group B received orally water extract of rhizome of turmeric. Cattle of group C were treated orally with leaves of betel leaf. Cattle of group D was kept as infected control group. Fecal samples, body weight, hematological and biochemical parameters were examined before treatment and on 3rd, 10th, 17th and 28th day. A significant (p < 0.01) reduction of EPG count was found following administration of garlic (20.41-40.81%), turmeric (6.09-19.27%) and betel leaf (2.91-9.8%) in cattle. The EPG count of the control group (D) were significantly (p < 0.01) increased up to the last day of experimental period. After treatment with garlic and turmeric total erythrocyte count (TEC), hemoglobin (Hb) content and packed cell volume (PCV) were gradually increased significantly (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05) in cattle. Conversely, the total leukocyte count (TLC) were decreased significantly (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05) in treated cattle. On the other hand, TEC, Hb content and PCV were gradually increased significantly (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05) on day 3 and day 10 in betel leaf treated cattle but decreased on 17th and 28th day. Conversely, the total leukocyte count (TLC) were decreased significantly (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05) on day 3 and day 10 in betel leaf treated cattle but increased significantly (p < 0.01) on 17th and 28th day. The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level were not significantly changed in the cattle. The body weight was increased significantly (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05) in garlic, turmeric and betel leaf treated cattle. On the other hand, body weight was decreased in untreated control group. The present study reveals that water extracts of garlic were moderately effective and turmeric and betel leaf were relatively less effective against gastrointestinal nematodes in cattle.
