Haematological and biochemical blood parameters in horses used for sport and recreation

Abstract: The study was conducted to determine and compare the resting values of haematological and biochemical blood indices in clinically healthy horses competing in show jumping and used for leisure activities. The experiment included twenty adult horses of Polish half-bred and Wielkopolska breed which were subjected to a daily training programme typical of their type of use. Blood samples were collected at rest before feeding from the jugular external vein. Show jumpers had higher (P<0.05) red blood cell count, haem… Show more

“…Reference ranges of physiological, biochemical and haematological values may differ according to many factors like breed, age, sex, type of feeding, seasonal and environmental circumstances [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] . As a stress hormone, serum cortisol has been widely used to evaluate seasonal and environmental adaptation of the animal [12] , [13] .…”

“…Reference ranges of physiological, biochemical and haematological values are widely used in veterinary clinics for disease prognosis, differential disease diagnosis, nutritional and therapeutic monitoring [3] , [4] . It is also well established that the standard values of haematological and biochemical parameters referred for a particular breed of animals may not hold good for other breeds as these have been reported to vary in different breeds [5] , [6] .…”

“…Plasma or serum chemistry profiling can identify levels of several proteins, enzymes, electrolytes and other biochemical molecules that give information on general health status and metabolic condition as well as on individual organs' functionality. Therefore, plasma chemistry is used in diagnostic investigation to provide supportive evidence of a suspected diagnosis, as a prognostic indicator, to monitor metabolic changes that can be used to track the progress of disease in animals under treatment (Burlikowska et al 2015) and to reveal health disorders already in a preclinical stage.…”
