The study was aimed at investigating the hematological parameters and biochemical profile of camels fed some preferred forages in the Sudan Savannah ecological zone of Nigeria. A total of five healthy male camels were used in six feeding periods. The blood indices were determined at an interval of one week during the feeding period. The results show significantly (P<0.05) higher Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC). No significant difference (P>0.05) was recorded in neutrophils, amylase and cholesterol. Also, the blood urea level, total protein, serum globulin and albumin were affected significantly (P<0.05) by the experimental forages. It was however concluded that experimental forages could induce significant changes in the physiological responses of the dromedary camel blood without deleterious effect.

Clarias batrachus, locally called zeol fish, reared in fresh water on protein diet were exposed to 5% (8.77 mg/l active ingredient) and 10% (17.74 mg/l active ingredient) concentrations of malathion at 24 h intervals, for three weeks in cement tanks containing 580 liters of water with a constant flow (1.5/1 min) of aerated dechlorinated tap water with no recirculation under natural light. Weekly two cc venous blood was drawn from each sample to determine the haematolocial parameters using EDTA (ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid) as an anticoagulant. The findings of this study showed that malathion in different concentrations have some diverse effects on the haematological parameters of Clarias batrachus. Exposer to 10% concentration of malathion was found to have a lethal effect on RBC, thrombocyte, neutrophil and Hb concentration which caused death of the fish with the sign of hypochromic microcytic anemia. Exposer to 5% concentration, on the other hand, showed leucopoenia due to decreased leucocyte counts. Haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and values of mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and differential count of WBC levels showed decreased values at 5% concentration of malathion. Significant decrease (P<0.05) in Hb and concentration and MCH were observed during the exposer to the pesticide malathion. No significant difference (P>0.05) was observed in the levels of RBC, MCHC, PCV, MCV and WBC. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjz.v40i2.14311 Bangladesh J. Zool. 40(2): 183-188, 2012

Background: Hematological parameters are major indicator of ischemic stroke. Hematological parameters and stroke incidence have not been investigated in local population. Objective: The present study was designed to assess whether hematological parameters play an important role in ischemic stroke patients. Methodology: For this purpose a cross-sectional study was done at Department of Pathology,Darbhanga Medical College andHospital, Laheriasarai, Bihar from January 2020 to August 2020. A total of 150subjects were enrolled in Medicine Department and referred to Pathology Department for various hematological test.Patients divided into two groups, control (n=50) and ischemic stroke subjects (n=100). Data regarding risk factors was collected through questionnaire. Their hematological parameters such as WBCs count, RBCs count, haemoglobin concentration, HCT, MCV, MCH and PLT count were assessed by hematology analyzer. Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS (version 13). Result: Mean age of control and ischemic stroke group was 61.40y±1.33 and 63.8y±1.36 respectively with non-significant difference between the groups. Among the ischemic stroke subjects, 73% of the subjects were suffering from hypertension, 53% reported diabetes, 41% had heart disease, 39% had family history of stroke, 32% were smokers and 46% use high cholesterol food. The WBCs count, MCV, MCH and HCT were found significantly higher in ischemic stroke subjects when compared with control group while the significant decrease was observed in RBCs count and hemoglobin concentration. PLT count increased in ischemic stroke subjects as compared to control group. Conclusion: It was concluded that in ischemic stroke patients hematological parameters were greatly altered.

Biochemical Indices

Variations in haematological and serum biochemical indices among White Fulani bulls, Ouda rams and West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks were studied. Ten each of mature bulls, rams and bucks were used for the experiment. Blood was sampled from all the animals and analysed for haematology and serum was separated for serum biochemical analysis. The result showed that species had effect on some haematological and serum biochemical indices of White Fulani bulls, Ouda rams and WAD bucks. Packed cell volume, haemoglobin, white blood cells, red blood cells, monocytes and eosinophils were not significantly different among the species, while platelets, lymphocytes, and neutrophils counts were significantly influenced by specie differences. Platelets was significantly (p<0.05) lower in rams (93.20×103 /µL) than in bulls (136.00×103 /µL) and bucks (141.90×103 /µL). Lymphocytes and neutrophils count was significantly (p<0.05) influenced by species differences. Serum biochemical parameters showed that there was no significant difference in the mean values for albumin, glucose, cholesterol, urea and Aspartate amino transferase, while the values obtained for total protein, creatinine and Alanine amino transferase (ALT) were significantly (p<0.05) different among the animal species. Total protein (7.21±0.52 g/dL) and creatinine (1.21±0.19 mg/dL) were significantly (p<0.05) higher in bucks than other species. The ALT was also higher (p<0.05) in bucks (20.83 iu/L) than in rams (7.59 iu/L) and bulls (6.27 iu/L). This study suggests that the effect of specie of an animal influences blood indices. The values obtained in this study can be used as references for haematological and serum biochemical assessment of indigenous male cattle, sheep and goat in Nigeria.

The Impact

Climatic variations directly affect the animals, changing their physiology. Several factors such as species, breed, sex, age, nutrition, diseases, physiological stage, and seasonal variations can affect the pattern of haematological values. Quantitative and morphological changes in blood cells are associated with higher temperatures and humidity. Sixty-seven sheep (3 years old, not pregnant, clinically healthy) were used in the study to determine the effect of the temperature-humidity index (THI) and breed on morphological blood indices and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). The sheep were divided into groups by the breed (4 breeds) and the THI (2 classes). The blood samples from each animal were collected monthly. Significant differences between the values of leukocytes (WBC), neutrophils (NEU), erythrocytes (RBC), haemoglobin (HGB), haematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), lymphocytes (LYM), monocytes (MON) and platelet count (PLT) in THI groups were observed. In THI 1, the mean values of MCHC (5.68%, P < 0.05), MCH (0.52%), and HCT (4.90%, P < 0.05) were higher compared to those in THI 2. Multivariate test showed a significant effect of breed on NEU (P < 0.05), RBC (P < 0.05), HGB (P < 0.05) and MCHC (P < 0.05). The concentration of BHB in group THI 2 was by 12.9% higher (P < 0.05), compared to group THI 1. A significant effect of the breed (P < 0.05) and THI class (P < 0.05) on BHB was determined, whereas the impact of breed interaction with the THI was found to be non-significant. The observations reported in this study suggest that the response to temperature is dependent on animal breed. It was found that both morphological blood indices and BHB were affected by the temperature-humidity index.

Ethanolic Leaf Extract

This experiment was conducted for eight weeks to evaluate the haematological and serum biochemical indices of broiler chickens infected with Salmonella Gallinarum (Gr. D1-1, 9, 12) and treated with ethanolic leaf extract of Chrysophyllum albidum (G. Don). The experimental design was a factorial arrangement in a completely randomised design (CRD) involving one hundred and sixty two (162) unsexed day-old Arbor Acre broiler chicks. The chickens were allotted to nine (9) groups of three (3) replicates with each replicate comprising six (6) birds of infected, non-infected, treated and untreated group. Phytochemical screening of C. albidum revealed the presence of tannins, saponins, cardiac glycosides, steroids, terpenoids and flavonoids. The extract and the standard drug were th administered at 7 day post infection. There were significant differences (P< 0.05) in Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Red Blood Cell (RBC), Haemoglobin (Hb), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Lymphocyte (LYM) and none in Heterophil (HET), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Monocytes, Basophils and Eosinophils at all levels. The highest values of PCV (33.67±1.86a ), RBC (3.02±0.4a ) and Hb (11.23±0.62a ) though normal were observed in the standard drug (Doxygen®) group. Most of the serum biochemical parameters were found to be within range usually seen in avian species. It was concluded that ethanolic leaf extract of C. albidum had no deleterious effect on haematological and biochemical indices of broiler chickens and hence can be further explored pharmaceutically for its usefulness in treating fowl typhoid.

Abstract. West African Dwarf (WAD) goat plays an important socio-economic role, hence the effect of 82 days of feeding Gmelina leaf meal (GLM) diets on feed intake, body weight change and blood indices of WAD goats were investigated. A total of 36 WAD goats averaging 9.04 kg in weight were randomly divided into four groups of nine goats each with three goats constituting a replicate. The groups were randomly assigned four experimental diets (T1, T2, T3, and T4, containing GLM at 0%, 12%, 24% and 36%, respectively) in a completely randomized design. Results indicated significant (p<0.05) improvement for body weights and feed conversion ratio for T2, T3, and T4. There was significant difference (p<0.05) for all the haematological parameters except packed cell volume (PCV). White blood cells (WBC) increased in their number (p<0.05) with incremental levels of GLM in the diets. All the serum biochemical indices showed significant (p<0.05) difference with glucose and cholesterol concentration reduced (p<0.05) with incremental levels of GLM. It could be concluded that GLM can be included in the diets of goats up to 36% without deleterious effects on the productive and physiological indices of WAD goats.

The effects on haematological parameters of albino rats were evaluated to assess possible toxicity of tannery effluent. The study was carried out for 28 days. Forty (40) matured albino rats of both sexes were divided into four groups of 10 rats each. Group 1 is the control group, which were exposed dermally with normal water. Groups 2, 3 and 4 were exposed dermally at different concentrations of 100%, 50% and 25% of the effluent respectively. The result of the physicochemical analysis of the effluent shows that the physicochemical parameters were above the standard limit. Rats exposed to different percentages of the effluent showed significant decrease in the level of haemoglobin and packed cells volume. Red blood cell, white blood cell, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, platelet and lymphocytes do not significantly decrease or increase.

The effect of graded levels of toasted Adenanthera pavonina seed meal (TAPSM) on haematological and biochemical indices of finisher broiler chickens was investigated in a five-week feeding trial with 84 (5-week old) broilers divided into four groups of 21 birds per group. Each group had three replicates of 7 birds. Four experimental diets were formulated to contain 0, 10, 20 and 30% TAPSM, represented as T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively. Birds were allocated to the four diets in a completely randomized design and housed in a deep litter pen. Feed and water were offered to birds ad libitum. Haematological parameters showed a significant (P<0.05) decreasing trend in haemoglobin (10.20, 9.03, 8.60 and 7.63 g/dl), packed cell volume (28.33, 26.10, 25.60 and 25.20%), total red blood cell (4.23, 4.00, 3.99 and 3.99 ?106/?l), mean corpuscular volume (66.97, 65.25, 64.16 and 63.15 fl), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (24.11, 22.57, 21.55 and 19.12pg) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (35.66, 34.59, 33.59 and 30.27%) with an increase in the level of TAPSM in the diets. Total white blood cells (71.76, 73.40, 75.07 and 76.17 ?103/?l) increased significantly (P<0.05) as the TAPSM level increased. The other values were as follows: urea (4.00, 5.00, 6.67 and 10.00mg/dl), creatinine (0.33, 0.25, 0.43 and 0.46mg/dl), cholesterol (149.67, 135.67, 113.67 and 102.67 mg/dl), total protein (3.33, 3.43, 2.97 and 2.50mg/dl), glucose (146.14, 208.49, 179.66 and 135.33 mg/dl), alkaline phosphatase (105.65, 111.2, 132.67 and 145.00 iu/l) and aspartate transaminase (68.68, 70.00, 78.00 and 85.67 iu/l). In conclusion, 10% TAPSM in broiler diets most favourably influenced haematological and biochemical parameters.
