“…On the other hand, nutritional deficiency in copper and selenium has been associated with formation of Heinz bodies indicative of erythrocyte oxidative damage in lambs. Moreover, copious exercise seems to further reveal the hematological impact of these trace element deficiencies (Draksler et al, 2002;Suttle et al, 1987). Similarly, anemia with Heinz body presence has been reported in hypophosphatemic cows (Jubb et al, 1990).…”

Anemia in ruminants is an abnormal condition characterized by the decrease of the hematocrit (Packed Cell Volume, PCV), the mass of erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells, RBCs) and/or hemoglobin. Anemia is classified as hemolytic, hemorrhagic or anemia caused by the decreased production of erythrocytes; the first two categories are characterized by a regenerative response. Hemorrhagic anemia can be caused by ectoparasites or parasites of the gastrointestinal system, hemorrhagic bowel syndrome, abomasal ulcers, vena cava thrombosis as well as from the genitourinary tract. In addition, primary and secondary hemostatic disorders can be accompanied by hemorrhagic anemia. Hemoparasites, toxins produced from Clostridium perfringens type D and Clostridium hemolyticum and leptospirosis are some of the causes of hemolytic anemia. Furthermore, certain plants, drugs or heavy metals and lack of certain trace elements can cause hemolysis. Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia has also been reported in ruminants. The reduced production of erythrocytes can be caused by deficiency of vitamin B12 or iron, as well as by chronic diseases. Pathologic conditions of bone marrow like inflammatory or neoplastic cells filtration and hypoplasia or aplasia of bone marrow are related to reduced production of erythrocytes. After laboratory confirmation by complete blood count analysis, history taking, clinical examination of the animal and specific test depending on the case, are required for the diagnostic approach of anemia and especially for etiological diagnosis. Tachycardia, tachypnea, icterus, mucosal pallor as well as specific symptoms of the underlying disease are observed during the clinical examination of the animal. FAMACHA technique is widely used for the clinical diagnosis and the assessment of the severity of anemia. With respect to complete blood count, apart from the hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, erythrocytes indices as Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) are contributing to the classification of anemia. The size and the shape of the erythrocytes, the appearance of inclusions and reticulocytes, which are indicative of regenerative anemia, are evaluated in blood smear. Rarely, examination of bone marrow is carried out, for the differentiation of anemia as regenerative or non-regenerative. In particular, the confirmation of immune- mediate anemia is based on Coomb’s test for the detection of autoagglutination. Except from hemorrhage, blood loss is detected at urinalysis or feces microscopy for the presence of blood and/or parasites. Finally, serological and molecular techniques for the detection of infectious agents, as well as specific toxicological analysis are performed in various biological materials.

“…Cobre: Se hallaron diferencias en el contenido de cobre hemático entre las comunidades (P<0.01), donde Tindú tuvo la mayor cantidad, con 0.126 mg/L; podemos comparar este dato con los del nrc (2007), que refiere que la concentración en plasma de este mineral es de 0.9-1.39 mg/L, en contraste con otros estudios que reportan cantidades en plasma de 0.110-0.420 mg/L (Faye et al, 1991), de 1.03-1.39 mg/L en cabras adultas (Yazar et al, 2006) y de 0.05 mg/L en animales que mostraron ataxia. La conclusión es que las cabras criollas fueron más susceptibles a padecer deficiencia de cobre (Draksler et al, 2002), específicamente las cabras de Chocani, La Huertilla y San Marcos, que acusan insuficiencia severa de este microelemento, sospechando que hay problemas de Figura 3.

“…En el sistema nervioso, los bajos índices de cobre producen falta de mielina y degeneración neuronal, que ocasiona que las cabras pierdan la coordinación del tren posterior y sus articulaciones se flexionen, en especial las de las extremidades torácicas; los animales quedan postrados y sólo patalean, hasta que finalmente mueren por inanición (Draksler et al, 2002).…”

“…In sheep, hemolysis is also frequently observed in connection with copper poisoning, which can also occur in goats, which are less susceptible to it ( 19 – 22 ). Not only the oversupply, but also deficiencies of trace elements or vitamins can lead to anemic conditions in small ruminants, for example, as a consequence of iron ( 23 , 24 ), copper ( 25 , 26 ) or cobalamin ( 27 ) deficiencies. In those cases, the animals develop non-regenerative anemia due to a decreased production of red blood cells.…”

Case Report: Severe Anemia Associated With an Abomasal Fibrosarcoma in a Goat

et al. 2022

A 10-year-old female goat was presented to the clinic with lethargy, emaciation, and pale mucous membranes. Laboratory diagnosis revealed severe anemia with regenerative character as well as melena. Blood transfusions were administered, but the animal's condition continued to deteriorate, so it was euthanized. The main finding in the necropsy was an abomasal neoplasia with two metastases in the mesenterium which was positive for vimentin, but negative for smooth muscle actin and c-kit using immunohistochemistry, indicating a fibrosarcoma that might have contributed to gastrointestinal blood loss. Further pathological findings consisted of changes in the liver cells as well as a cervical leiomyoma. These findings illustrate that intestinal blood loss due to neoplasia should also be considered in older goats with anemia.
