“…The increased demand of working muscles for oxygen, evidenced by a rise in the number of post-exertion HR and RR values, resulted in an increase in red blood cell parameters (RBC, Hb and Ht). These results correspond with the results of other studies, which demonstrated a similar relationship (10,13,17). Exercise-induced increase in the size of these indicators in stallions was relatively moderate and similar to reactions reported during standardised exercise tests of young racehorses (10) and daily training cycle of sport horses (15,20,21).…”

The study was conducted on 20 clinically healthy stallions, aged 3-4 years. The evaluation of the degree of adaptation of stallions to exercise loads in the course of a 100-d training programme was conducted three times: (I) -on the 1 st d of training, (II) -on the 46 th d of training, and (III) -on the 97 th d of training. Rectal temperature (T) and number of heart and respiratory rates were measured. Blood was sampled before exercise (1), after exercise (2), and 30 min after rest (3). The following indices were determined in the blood: concentration of haemoglobin, haematocrit level, number of red blood cells, white blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and platelets. Post-exertion changes in the evaluated indicators showed moderate intensity to the applied loads with respect to functional potential of tested horses. The effect of the standard 100-d training was to stimulate the body's adaptation to functional tasks, which was evidenced, among others, by lower variability of post-exertion T and the number of red blood cells. The highest T increase was found at the beginning of the programme (about 2.1%), whereas during the subsequent studies (II and III) it was significantly (P<0.05) lower (0.98% and 0.84%, respectively). The variability in red blood cell count in the course of training showed a downward trend (16.4%, 13.7%, and 11.0%, respectively). The results confirm the relatively low exercise loads and good health of young stallions during the 100-d performance test.

“…After the exercise, erythrocytes are generally rapidly eliminated from the circulation, and then stored in the spleen (17). This reaction constitutes one of the signs of adaptation to the applied exercise loads.…”

“…Studies with Andalusian horses, an ancestor of the Brazilian Criollo horse, show higher hematological values as compared to those found for the Criollo horse in the present studies (MUÑOZ et al, 1996), suggesting that the adaptation process generated physiological changes.…”

“…The leukocyte values found for the three studied breeds are within the interval found in literature (MUÑOZ et al, 1996), despite the significant difference among the breeds observed in the present study, in which the interval in leukocyte count was 8,300 to 20,000/mL. Although other authors (SCHALM, 1979) observed that older horses (>8 years) had higher leukocyte values than younger horses, in the present study no difference was observed between the analyzed age ranges.…”

-The hematological and biochemical parameters are useful tools for clinics and feeding management of athlete equines. The population of high performance horses consists of different breed groups, displaying specific phenotypic and metabolic characteristics related to the type of sport activity they perform. In the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in the South of Brazil, racing, jumping, polo, endurance, reigning, and dressage are the main activities. This study investigated the hemato-biochemical parameters in three high performance horse breeds from Southern Brazil. A total number of 154 horses belonging to the breeds Thoroughbred, Brasileiro de Hipismo, and Criollo, were selected for this study. Within each breed, samples were collected from males (n=12) and non-pregnant females (n=12) of two ages: 1 to 3 years of age (n=12) and over five years of age (n=12). Hematological (total count of erythrocytes and leukocytes, blood cell volume, hemoglobin, and differential count of leukocytes) and biochemical (lactate, fructosamine, glucose, cholesterol, total protein, albumin, globulins, fibrinogen, urea, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and enzymes LDH, AST, GGT, and CK) parameters were analyzed. Significant differences were observed in hematological and biochemical parameters, except for calcium and albumin, among breeds. There was no significant effect of age or sex within breed. This study shows that the local population, the breed and the type of sport activity are important variables to be considered in the analysis of blood parameters of horses.

“…Balarin et al (11) descreveram valores de RDW para equinos da raça PSI saudáveis bem semelhantes aos descritos por Radin et al (14) para animais com grave hemorragia e/ou hemólise. Existem relatos descrevendo redução (15,16) , aumento (17,18) e até a não variação dos valores (10,(19)(20)(21) de VCM após atividade física. Similarmente, autores descrevem aumento (10,20) ou não oscilação (21) de RDW após diferentes exercícios físicos.…”

Volume Corpuscular Médio (Vcm) E Amplitude Da Distribuição Do Tamanho Dos Eritrócitos (Rdw) Em Equinos Da Raça Quarto De Milha Usados Em Provas De Três Tambores

et al. 2016

Resumo Vinte e dois equinos da raça Quarto de Milha, 8 fêmeas e 14 machos, 4,88±2,42 anos e 429,1±31,9 kg, foram avaliados antes (T0) e imediatamente após (T1) e com 30 (T2) e 120 minutos (T3) após uma prova de três tambores para determinar a influência do exercício físico sobre o volume corpuscular médio (VCM) e a amplitude da distribuição do tamanho dos eritrócitos (RDW). Variáveis foram submetidas à análise de variância e a comparações entre médias pelo teste de Tukey e a comparações entre machos e fêmeas pelo teste-t, considerando-se p<0,05. Os valores de VCM foram 46,5±2,0 fl, 47,6±2,2 fl, 46,6±1,8 fl e 46,7±1,9 fl em machos e 46,3±0,6 fl, 47,7±0,9 fl, 46,7±0,8 fl e 46,4±0,8 fl em fêmeas, respectivamente, em T0, T1, T2 e T3. Para RDW, foram registrados valores de 28,8±8,1%, 30,8±9,5%, 28,2±8,1% e 26,6±8,0% em machos e 28,0±7,3%, 27,1±8,1%, 28,1±8,1% e 28,6±7,2%, em fêmeas, respectivamente, em T0, T1, T2 e T3. Houve aumento significativo somente de VCM nos equinos de ambos os sexos. Não foram observadas diferenças entre machos e fêmeas para VCM e RDW. Foi possível concluir que o exercício físico imposto levou a uma macrocitose homogênea.
