“…However, in contrast to these observations, other findings has enregistred a lower EOF in male compared to female. Such findings have been reported in African giant rats [39], dogs [40], turkeys [6] and goat [41]. On the other hand, in camel, the osmotic resistance increased significantly during the green season and decreased in winter [42].…”

“…The differences can be attributed to the broiler line used in the experiment and the method of determination (Haile & Chanie, 2014) or age and nutrition and chickens' ages (Habibu et al, 2013). Broilers of the species Gallus gallus domesticus tend to have fewer and larger red blood cells generally (Wakenell, 2010), as in this study, including the control group.…”

This study aimed to investigate the effect of whole grape pomace (GP), grape seed (GS) and grape pomace polyphenolic extract (GPEP) on growth performance, total antioxidant status (TAS) and complete blood count (CBC) of 40-day-old chicks (hybrid Cobb 500). A total of 432 unsexed one-day-old chicks were divided into six groups: control (CON) and five experimental groups, 10 g/kg GP, 20 g/kg GP, 5 g/kg GS, 10 g/kg GS and 15 mL/L GPEP. The results showed a higher increase in growing rate in 5 g/kg GS group, from the first week of the chicks' life throughout their growth, the average body weight of the chicks being significantly higher (p<0.01) than CON. The broilers that received 5 g/ kg seeds in the diet, 10 g/kg and 20 g/kg GP respectively, have achieved a better feed conversion ratio (FCR) than CON. The introduction of GPEP in drinking water has significantly affected (p<0.05) the growth performance in the fourth week of the experiment, lower weight gains could be due to high levels of polyphenols in grape pomace extract that may have a delayed effect on the growth of chickens. The CBC and TAS were not affected by dietary treatments (p>0.05) at 40 days of age. As a conclusion, the amount of 5 g/kg seeds, 10 g/kg and 20 g/kg pomace, can be added to the diet of the broilers, the dose of 5 g/kg seeds in the diet offering advantages in growing rate and feed valorization in weight gain.

“…To the best of our knowledge, this will be the first study to compare the EOF of the Nigerian indigenous dog with an exotic breed. Similar studies conducted in other species have showed the existence of breed difference in EOF (March et al 1966;Oyewale and Durotoye 1988;Olayemi and Oyewale 2002;Habibu et al 2013). For instance, in birds, a comparison of EOF of the Nigerian local fowl and the Hubbard fowl showed that the former was more susceptible to osmotic haemolysis (Oyewale and Durotoye 1988).…”

Haematological analyses are important in early detection of diseases, and breed differences have been suggested (Schalm 1962). This work is a comparative study to establish the influence of breed on erythrocyte osmotic fragility of Nigerian indigenous breed of dog and the German shepherd dog. In the study, erythrocyte values and the erythrocyte osmotic fragility of Nigerian indigenous breed of dog were compared with those of the German shepherd dog. The influence of sex on the erythrocyte values of the German shepherd dog was also investigated. There were no significant differences (P<0.05) in the packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) between the two breeds. Red blood cell (RBC) count of the Nigerian indigenous breed of dog was significantly lower than that of the German shepherd dog (P<0.05). The study further reveals that there was no sex difference in the PCV, RBC count, Hb concentration, MCV, MCH and MCHC in the German shepherd dog. Also, erythrocytes of the Nigerian indigenous dog were more fragile than those of the German shepherd dog at 0.3 % NaCl concentration (P<0.05). Erythrocytes of male German shepherd dog were also observed to be more fragile than those of the female at 0.7 % NaCl concentration (P<0.05). This study forms part of an ongoing effort in establishing reference haematological values for the Nigerian indigenous breed of dog.
