“…In all groups, the RBC and WBC counts as well as the Hb and Hct levels were similar to the values published as physiological for rabbits by Kolb (1962), Spörri and Stünzi (1969), Scheunert and Trautmann (1987), Bortolotti et al (1989), McLaughlin and Fish (1994) and Rupiae et al (1991Rupiae et al ( , 1996.…”

The effect of feeding different levels (10 and 20%) of dehydrated olive cake pulp on certain blood parameters and on the catalytic activity of serum enzymes was studied in fattening rabbits. A total of 60 rabbits were divided into a control group (C) and two experimental groups (E , E ), each comprising 10 males and 10 females.Rabbits of Group C received no dehydrated olive cake pulp in their diet, while rabbits of Group E and Group E were fed 10% and 20% dehydrated olive cake pulp, respectively. After Day 56 of the experiment, blood samples were obtained by cardiac puncture and certain blood parameters as well as the catalytic activity of serum enzymes were determined. Following the experimental feeding period no significant differences were found between Group C and Groups E and E in red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) count, haemoglobin concentration and haematocrit value. Similarly, after 56 days of experimental fattening no significant differences were found between the control group and the experimental groups in the catalytic activity of the serum enzymes alkaline phosphatase (AP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). However, Group E rabbits manifested a significantly higher alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity in the serum than did rabbits of Group E . The results indicate that the inclusion of dehydrated olive cake pulp in the diet at the rate of 10% or 20% caused no changes in the investigated blood parameters and serum enzyme activities of fattening rabbits.

“…The stress that a rabbit undergoes during the trip to the veterinary clinic and by management necessary for the extraction of blood could explain this result and that of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) value (53-239 IU/L), which is elevated with respect to Wesche (2014). However, other indicators of stress such as total white blood cell count, creatine kinase and AST (McLaughlin and Fish, 1994) did not showed elevations known to be produced by stress in the present work if this values are compared with some published reference intervals (Table 1).…”

“…These studies are carried out on breeds (mostly on the New Zealand White rabbit) of rabbits that not correspond with the constellation of breeds and mixed-breeds of pet rabbits that come to the daily clinic, samples are obtained by methods that differ from methods employed in the pet clinic practice, and husbandry between laboratory and pet rabbits is far different. It is known that laboratory values in rabbits and other species differ according to the breed, sampling method, stress, immobilizing agents, haemolysis, husbandry, etc (Fox et al, 1970;McLaughlin and Fish, 1994). According to the sampling method there are several venipuncture collection sites in rabbits that have been used in laboratory animals but many of these sites are not routinely employed in the daily clinic for various reasons.…”

Laboratory reference intervals for systolic blood pressure, rectal temperature, haematology, biochemistry and venous blood gas and electrolytes in healthy pet rabbits

Prospective data from 86 healthy pet rabbits were evaluated to establish reference intervals for hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, venous blood gas and electrolytes, rectal temperature and systolic blood pressure. Reference intervals for rectal temperature (37.4-39.6 ºC) and systolic blood pressure (75-134 mm/Hg) were previously unreported in pet rabbits. Differences by more than 30% with reference intervals present in the bibliography were observed in the blood biochemistry and urinalysis, being attributed to the variability in methodological factors with the present study.

“…Besides, the wide range in the activity of some enzymes tested, as found in literature (McLaughlin and Fish 1994), was a motive for us to carry out additional investigations in order to determine their reference values.…”
