Changes in some haematological and biochemical parameters during pre-partum and post-partum periods in female West African Dwarf Goats

Hemato-Biochemical Profiling in Relation to Metabolic Disorders in Transition Dairy Cows

“…The significant changes of magnesium was in agreement with Crnkic(2010) who concluded that these changes may be due to insufficient food intake or poor bioavailability of Mg in the digestive tract but, these results disagreed with Bajora et al(1994) who found no significant changes in serum magnesium level in pre-and post-parturient cows. Na and Cl in pre-partum were significantly higher than those at calving and post-partum due to their secretion in colostrum and milk Daramola et al, (2004) and Ghanem et al, (2012). On other hand potassium level not changed in three groups, Serum total proteins as parturition approach usually decreased may be due to the fetus synthesizes all its proteins from the amino acids derived from the dam and fetal muscle growth reaching its maximum size at late pregnancy (Jainudee, and Hafez, 1994).…”

“…Transition stage not only affect clinical situation of dairy cows but also affect significantly internal hemogram including reduced RBCS count , Hb.content , MCV, PCV,MCH and MCHC values in early lactation period when compared with late pregnant one, these obtained results coincides with that observed by Găvan, et al (2010) and Ghanem, et al (2012), the reduction in RBCS count, MCV, and MCH returned to deficiency of iron during peri-parturient periods, that resulted in a decreased MCV (microcytosis) because cells undergo an extra division due to inadequate hemoglobin concentration (Roy et al, 2010). PCV% and Hb content (gm/dl) showed a significant decrease during peri-parturient periods, that was attributed to anemia due to stress of pregnancy and parturation (Daramola et al, 2004). Elevation of serum cortisol around parturition (Preisler et al, (2000) and Kim et al, (2005), resulting in a significant decrease in total leucocytic count, lymphocyte % and neutrophils % in the early lactating group compared with late pregnant one.…”

Influence of refeeding on production, blood biochemistry parameters, and reproduction in underfed Kacang goat does

“… Note : a,b Mean with different superscript on the same row and group showed a significant difference ( p < 0.05), m Stevens et al (1994); n Elitok (2012); Kraft and Dürr (1999); p Daramola et al (2005); q Aba et al (2020); r Tschuor et al (2008). …”

“…The results of this study indicated that serum protein and BUN were at physiological levels. The BUN level is in the range of physiological levels for West African Dwarf goats, 2.24–27.17 mg/dl (Daramola et al, 2005). Considering that BUN is an indicator of protein intake and ureagenesis (Macrae et al, 2006; Strang et al, 1998), as well as related to protein metabolism and rumen microbial digestion (Kraft & Dürr, 1999; Roche et al, 2013), then these findings might indicate that during the underfeeding and refeeding periods in this study, Kacang goats had adequate rumen microbial digestion and liver function.…”

Comparative Effect of Three Different Energy Sources on Hematology and Serum Biochemistry of Rabbits

“…Swenson (1970); Addass et al (2012) also observed that factors such as age, nutrition, health of the animal, degree of physical activity, sex and environmental factors affect blood values of animals. According to Daramola et al (2005), age and sex of farm animals affect haematological parameters. Schalm et al (1975) reported that blood pictures of animals might be influenced by certain factors such as nutrition, management, breeds of animal, sex, age, diseases and stress factors.…”
