Haematological Changes

Studies on actively stressed 3. equi infected premuned indigenous polo horses, manifested severe clinical syndromes characterised by partial anorexia, hyperthermia, lethargy, extreme weakness, marked dehydration, ecchymotic third eyelid, pale mucous membranes, sternal recumbency and coma. Some horses showed complete anorexia, obvious colicy symptoms, watery blood, and haemoglobinuria. The haematological changes in the affected horses included highly significantly (P<0.01) low packed cell volume, reduced haemoglobin concentration, depleted red blood cell counts and highly significantly (P<0.01) depleted neutrophils and lymphocytes.

Oxidative stress in the body occurs when the production of free radicals overwhelms the antioxidant defence systems. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a tiletamine/zolazepam-xylazine-tramadol combination on the antioxidant status, lipoperoxidase and blood cell indicators in eight miniature pigs. Baseline measures were recorded prior to anaesthesia, then the animals were anaesthetized with the combination of tiletamine/zolazepam (3.5 mg/kg), xylazine (1.32 mg/kg), and tramadol (1.8 mg/kg). Blood samples were collected from the anterior vena cava at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 min, 24 h, and 72 h after anaesthesia. Plasma malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase concentrations were measured by colorimetry, and red blood cell counts, white blood cell counts, haemoglobin and packed cell volume were determined using an automated cell counter. The results showed that the concentration of malondialdehyde increased significantly at 30 and 60 min after the injection (P< 0.05), whereas glutathione peroxidase and catalase activity increased slightly (P> 0.05) then returned to baseline values after 90 min (P> 0.05). Superoxide dismutase activity increased significantly (P< 0.05) at 30 and 60 min, and then gradually decreased to baseline values after 90 min. Changes in red blood cell counts, haemoglobin and packed cell volume were not significant, while white blood cell count decreased significantly (P< 0.05) at 30 and 60 min. Our study is the first to demonstrate that tiletamine/zolazepam-xylazine-tramadol provide antioxidant effects, which may be proposed for alleviating the stress of examination and research at veterinary clinics or long-distance transportation.

The effects of graded levels of dietary protein on some haematological parameters in pubertal Yankasa rams were studied. They were randomly divided into three treatment groups (A, B and C). Groups A, B and C received 10%, 15% and 20% crude protein respectively. All rams were fed a basal diet of hay (Digitaria spp) ad-libitum and given a supplement ration of concentrate mixture at 2% body weight/day. Blood was collected once weekly via jugular venepuncture into heparinised test-tubes, and transported to the laboratory for determination of red blood cell counts, packed cell volume, white blood cell counts and total protein for twelve weeks. The overall mean red blood cell values obtained were 4.2 ± 0.1 ×106 µl, 5.2 ± 0.1 106 µl and 5.06 ± 0.1 ×106 µl, for groups A, B and C respectively. The difference between values obtained for groups B and C were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Mean packed cell volumes obtained in this study revealed that rams fed 15% crude protein had significantly (P < 0.05) higher values (31.3 ± 0.9%) than those fed 10% (25.9± 0.7%) but similar to those fed 20% (30.33 ± 0.56%) crude protein. There were no significant (P > 0.05) differences in mean white blood cell counts and total protein concentrations between all groups of animals fed 10% CP. Feeding rams diets containing 15 % CP (cotton seed cake and palm kernel cake) gave better values in terms of packed cell volume and red blood cell counts, than feeding diets containing 10% and 20% C.P. While graded levels of dietary protein was shown to affect packed cell volume and total protein concentration, it had no significant effect on red blood cell and white blood cell counts.

Abstract Objectives Serum lipids may influence the lifespan of erythrocytes, and have been associated with clinical erythrocyte indices at the population level. Consumption of whole eggs vs. egg whites exerts varying effects on serum lipids and lipoprotein profiles; therefore, we investigated whether egg-induced changes in serum lipids correspond to changes in clinical erythrocyte markers. Methods Young, healthy men and women (18–35y, BMI < 30 kg/m2, n = 11) were recruited to participate in an ongoing intervention trial. All subjects followed an egg-free diet for 4 weeks, then were randomized to consume either 3 whole eggs or 3 egg whites per day for 4 weeks. Fasting serum lipids, complete blood cell counts, and dietary intake analysis was performed at the end of each study period. Results Average serum lipids and erythrocyte indices were within normal ranges at the end of each diet period. Changes in total cholesterol following the whole egg (+4.8%) and egg white (0.4%) diet period were not significant as compared to the egg-free diet period. Similarly, clinical erythrocyte markers were not significantly altered by daily consumption of whole eggs or egg whites. However, changes in total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol between diet periods were positively correlated with changes in total red blood cell counts and hemoglobin. Total cholesterol was additionally correlated with hematocrit levels, and negatively associated with red cell distribution width. Total red blood cell counts and hemoglobin were further correlated with changes in the total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratios, but not HDL-cholesterol alone. Conclusions Our findings indicate that egg-induced changes in serum lipids are associated with clinical erythrocyte indices, and that total cholesterol levels and dyslipidemia may be more significant determinants of erythrocyte profiles.

Bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, can be separated into coastal and offshore ecotypes based upon hemoglobin levels, packed cell volumes, and red blood cell counts, the offshore form having higher values for all three measures. Captive-bred crosses between coastal and offshore types produce animals with intermediate hematologic profiles suggesting a significant genetic basis for these differences.
