120 dias de prenhez); e recém-paridas (< 30 dias de puerpério). Nas amostras de sangue, colhidas em frascos contendo EDTA, foi realizada a contagem do número total de leucócitos em câmara de Neubauer, utilizando-se o líquido de Thoma como diluidor e a contagem diferencial de leucócitos,efetuada em esfregaços sangüíneos, corados pelo Método de Rosenfeld. Observou-se a influência da gestação sobre o leucograma, pois o quadro leucocitário foi caracterizado por uma diminuição gradual do número de leucócitos com o avançar da gestação, atingindo seus menores valores no final da gestação e no puerpério. Essa diminuição ocorreu devido ao comportamento observado para o número absoluto de linfócitos, que também diminuiu com a evolução da gestação. Dessa forma, o quadro leucocitário tornou-se, predominantemente, neutrofílico na fase final da gestação e no puerpério.]]>
RESUMOO hemograma e o perfil bioquímico são usados para diagnosticar doenças em animais domésticos. Esses exames podem ser influenciados pela idade, sexo, nutrição, raça, espécie e condições ambientais. Portanto, dados de uma região não podem ser totalmente extrapolados para animais criados em regiões geograficamente distintas. Isso se aplica a ovinos criados no Bioma Amazônico. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar os valores hematológicos e bioquímicos de ovinos Santa Inês, de diferentes idades e gêneros criados na Amazônia oriental. Foram examinados 91 ovinos divididos em três grupos: G1 (3-6 meses de idade, n = 31); G2 (7 a 24 meses de idade, n = 30) e G3 (mais de 24 meses de idade, n = 30). O hemograma e as determinações bioquímicas foram realizados com um contador automático e um analisador semi-automático, respectivamente. Os resultados foram comparados pelo teste de Tukey. O número de eritrócitos, índices eritrocitários, plaquetograma, número de eosinófilos, teor de proteína total, de ureia e de creatinina foram influenciados pela idade dos animais. O coeficiente de variação dos eritrócitos e a concentração de creatinina foram influenciados pelo sexo, sendo maiores nos machos. A relação neutrófilos:linfócitos (N:L) foi maior que um para todos os grupos etários. Neste estudo foram determinados valores de referência para ovinos criados na Amazônia Oriental. Além disso, demonstrou-se que ao interpretar exames hematológicos e bioquímicos de ovinos, a idade e o sexo devem ser considerados. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Hemograma, Leucograma, Diagnóstico, Patologia Clínica Blood reference intervals and the influence of age and gender on hematologic and biochemical parameters of Santa Ines sheep bred in the eastern Amazon ABSTRACTBlood count and biochemical tests are used to diagnose diseases in domestic animals. These tests can be influenced by age, gender, nutrition, breed, species and environmental conditions. Thus, data from one region should not be extrapolated to animals raised in other regions. The objective of this study was to determine the hematological and biochemical values of different ages and genders of Santa Inês sheep, raised in the eastern Amazon. There were examined 91 sheep that were assigned to three groups: G1 (three to six months old, n = 31); G2 (seven to 24 months old, n = 30) and G3 (above 24 months old, n = 30). The blood cell count, white blood count and biochemical determinations were made with an automatic counter and a semi-automatic analyzer, respectively. Mean values were compared using the Tukey test. The number of erythrocytes, the red blood indices, the thrombogram, eosinophils, total protein, urea and creatinine concentrations were influenced by the age of the animals. The erythrocyte coefficient of variation and the creatinine concentration were influenced by gender, and were greater in males. The neutrophil:lymphocyte (N:L) ratio was greater than one for all age groups. This study led to the determination of reference values for sheep raised in the Eastern Amazon and demonstrated that ...
This study compared the effects of enteral electrolyte solutions with different osmolarities in Holstein cattle. Eighteen newborn calves were evenly divided into three groups and administered the following treatments: hypotonic electrolyte solution (ESHYPO) containing 4g NaCl, 0.5g KCl, 1g sodium acetate, and 7.5g dextrose diluted in 1,000mL water; isotonic electrolyte solution (ESISO) containing 5g NaCl, 1g KCl, 2g sodium acetate, and 10g dextrose diluted in 1,000mL water; and hypertonic electrolyte solution (ESHYPER) containing 6g NaCl, 1g KCl, 3g sodium acetate, and 15g dextrose diluted in 1,000mL water. Solutions were administered at a rate of 15mL kg-1hr-1 for 12 hours in a continuous flow. All three solutions increased the concentration of plasma sodium, but ESHYPO did not alter the serum osmolarity. Both ESISO and ESHYPO resulted in an increase in volemia.
-The hormonal responses of 20 female buffaloes raised under the sun (SS group) or in the shade (CS group) in Belém, Pará, Brazil, were assessed. The CS group (n = 10) was kept in a silvopasture system featuring Racosperma mangium, whereas the SS group (n = 10) was kept in paddocks without shade featuring Brachiaria humidicola, drinking water, and mineral salt. The following parameters were measured for each treatment: dry-bulb temperature (AT), relative humidity (RH), and black-globe temperature in order to calculate the globe temperature and humidity index (GTHI). Blood sample collections to quantitatively determine levels of cortisol, triiodothyronine (T 3 ), and thyroxine (T 4 ) were performed every 14 days, at 13.00 h. Different seasons of the year were also assessed: rainy (January-April), transition (May-July), and less rainy (August-December). Analysis of variance revealed that AT and the index of global temperature and humidity (GTHI) differed between groups; specifically, higher values were found in the SS group, which shows how important silvopastoral systems are in buffalo farming in tropical climates. Relative humidity was significantly different across seasons and particularly high in the rainy season. The treatments influenced cortisol such that higher values were observed in the SS group. The highest mean cortisol levels were recorded during the rainy and less rainy seasons, whereas the highest T 3 and T 4 levels were recorded only during the rainy season. Triiodothyronine and thyroxine were negatively correlated with AT and GTHI and positively correlated with RH. Silvopastoral systems provide thermal comfort to buffaloes, and the less rainy season is more likely to cause heat stress.
120 dias de prenhez); e G5 - recém-paridas(cabras com até 30 dias pós-parto). Nas amostras de sangue coletadas em frascos contendo EDTA, foram realizadas as seguintes análises: contagem do número de hemácias, determinação do volume globular, dosagem de hemoglobina, e cálculo dos índices hematimétricos (Volume Corpuscular Médio - VCM, Hemoglobina Corpuscular Médio - HCM, Concentração de Hemoglobina Corpuscular - CHCM). Constatou-se a influência da gestação e do puerpério sobre o eritrograma, pois na fase final da gestação, houve diminuição do número de hemácias, valores estes que retornaram no puerpério aos patamares observados nas cabras não prenhes, fases inicial e média da gestação. A avaliação do volume globular e da taxa de hemoglobina não revelou variações significativas que pudessem ser atribuídas à gestação ou ao puerpério. Na análise dos índices hematimétricos, verificou-se que os valores do VCM e do HCM foram maiores nas cabras na fase final de gestação e nas recém-paridas.]]>
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of three enteral electrolyte solutions, each with different energy sources, administrated as continuous flow on the physiological parameters and blood count of healthy Holstein heifers. Six Holstein heifers were used in a crossover design. All animals received all three treatments: solution with calcium propionate, 4g of NaCl, 0.5g of KCl, 0.3g of MgCl2, and 10g of calcium propionate diluted in 1000mL of water (measured osmolarity: 299mOsm/L); solution with glycerol, 4g of NaCl, 0.5g of KCl, 0.3g of MgCl2, 1g of calcium acetate, and 10mL of glycerol in 1000mL of water (measured osmolarity: 287mOsm/L); solution with propylene glycol, 4g of NaCl, 0.5g of KCl, 0.3g of MgCl2, 1g of calcium acetate, and 15mL of propylene glycol in 1000mL of water (measured osmolarity: 378mOsm/L). Physical evaluations and blood samples were collected immediately before the initiation of fluid therapy, at 3-hour intervals over the 12-hour period of fluid therapy, and 12 hours after the end of fluid therapy. Animals presented no signs of stress or discomfort. All solutions resulted in a significant decrease in erythrocyte concentration, hemoglobin concentration, and hematocrit, without affecting the leukogram. Enteral fluid therapy administered as continuous flow via the naso-ruminal route was well-tolerated by animals with minimal effects on animal welfare, even when administered for 12 hours. This technique is indicated as an alternative route for parenteral maintenance fluid therapy. Electrolyte solutions proposed here were able to significantly expand blood volume.
