Perfil hematológico do Gado Sindi (Bos indicus) criado no Semiárido Paraibano.

Abstract

The aim this work was to establish reference values of the hemogram of Sindi cattle raised in Paraiba backwood and evaluate the influence of factors of the same age, there were tests on blood samples collected from 60 clinically healthy animals subjected to the sanitary, environmental and nutritional similar, being 30 females and 30 males, with ages ranging as follows: Group I: 6 - 24 months, Group II: 24 - 48 months and Group III: up to 48 months. The experiment was conducted at the Center for Research and Development for the Semiarid Tropics (NUPEARIDO) and the Veterinary Clinical Pathology Laboratory of the Health Center and Rural Technology (CSTR), Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), Campus de Patos-PB. Blood samples were placed in tubes containing EDTA as an anticoagulant were performed the following tests: counting the number of red blood cells, packed cell volume (PCV), Hb content, calculations of absolute RBC indices (MCV). Held global count and differential leukocyte such as segmented neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes and monocytes. Reference values for erythrocyte count, hematocrit, hemoglobin, MCV and CAGH were, respectively, (6375 to 13,400), (32 - 50), ( 9 - 15) (37 - 60), (23 to 33 ). And for the WBC were obtained the following results: WBC (5270 to 17,170), segmented neutrophils (from 1360 to 5780) Eosinophils (240 to 2525), lymphocytes (2330 to 11,470), monocytes (72 - 1160). With the results showed differences in hematological values were important to establish reference values for breed.
