Measurement of haematologic and biochemical parameters is an important part of evaluating the health of ostrich chicks. Thus aimed to determine haematological and biochemical parameters in the blood of one-day old ostriches in intensive breeding. The blood count, iron and copper concentrations were determined in 30 clinically healthy, one-day old unsexed ostriches of the domesticated subspecies of ostrich Struthio camelus domesticus. Their importance in clinical evaluation and disease condition is discussed. In this study the following mean values were determined in 30 clinically healthy, one-day old unsexed ostriches: erythrocyte count = 1.48 x 1012/L, MCV = 126.6 fl, MCH = 52.9 pg, MCHC = 418 g/L, haemoglobin concentration = 79 g/L, haematocrit = 18.87%, platelet count = 8.6 x 109/L, leucocyte counts 9.1 x 109/L, heterophils = 82%, eosinophils = 0.5%, basophils = 2.5%, lymphocytes = 11%, monocytes = 3.4%, iron = 4 mmol/L and copper = 2.6 _mol/L. We hope that the data presented in this study will be an incentive to clinicians and scientists in the field, to use haematological and biochemical examinations as an aid to the diagnosis of diseases in ostriches
This study aimed to determine prevalences for anti-FCoV antibody, FeLV antigen, FeLV proviral DNA, and anti-FIV antibody among client-owned cats from the cities of Zagreb and Varaždin in Croatia. Subjects included 106 client-owned cats tested at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna, Austria. Blood samples were tested with IFA for anti-FCoV antibody and IFA FCoV antibody titeres, with ELISA for FeLV p27 antigen, with PCR for FeLV proviral DNA, and with RIM for anti-FIV antibody. Prevalence of FCoV and FeLV was 41.51% and 6.60%, respectively. A coinfection with FeLV/FCoV and FIV/FCoV prevalence was 7.55% and 5.66%. No cats were coinfected with FIV and FeLV. All three viruses were detected, confirming their presence in Croatia. The seroepidemiological findings demonstrate that both feline retroviruses and feline coronavirus are important feline pathogens in Croatia.
This paper deals with avian anemia's classified by MCHC/MCV and with types of anemia's. Father hematological and immunological research is needed to secure information on hematological parameters in different avian species at their earliest age. Anemia is a common clinical finding in birds because the avian erythrocyte half - life is much shorter than the mammalian. Therefore anemia should be determined as soon as possible. Researchers should standardize hematological parameters for every single avian species
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
