“…In Northeastern donkeys, LEU did not present differences (10 ×10 9 /L) (p > 0.05) among the groups, and also remained within the values described in the literature for this species in different breeds around the world (Jordana et al 1998, Lording 2008, Giraldo et al 2013, Garba et al 2015. In these latter publications, LEU ranges from 7×10 9 /L to 11.72×10 9 /L in healthy animals (Boudreaux andEbbe 1998, Garba et al 2015).…”

“…However, due to the way RDW-SD is measured, it has become a more reliable parameter to determine erythrocyte response (Gameleira et al 2011, Garba et al 2015. It has also recently been shown that the combination of MCV and MCHC with RDWs may produce a better understanding and classification of anemia in horses (Lording 2008) and it can be applied to donkeys. In the current animals, MCV resembles those described for Italian donkeys (adults: 54fL; youngsters (1-3 years): 49fL) (Caldin et al 2005), and it is also within the values described for other donkey breeds (Mori et al 2004, Tesfaye et al 2014.…”

Summary:In order to test the hypothesis that donkeys, housed in different management systems, present minimal variations in the concentration of various blood values, an experiment was carried out to evaluate blood values in Northeastern donkeys at maintenance, of both sexes, in different management systems. Sixty-two Northeastern donkeys were used, of both sexes, adults, healthy and housed in three management systems: Limoeiro (LIM), Natal (NAT) and Mirandiba/Salgueiro (MS), three different regions in the Northeast of Brazil. Body condition score, red blood cell count, haemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCHC, leukocytes, lymphocyte, other white cells, RDW-CV, RDW-SD, platelets, MPV, total plasma protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, uric acid, glutamine, glutamate, triglycerides, total cholesterol, nonesterified fatty acids, AST, ALT, AP, CK, GGT, Ca, P, Cl, Fe, Na, K and Se were evaluated. Results were submitted to ANOVA with two factors (sex and rearing site) and to Tukey test, considering p<0.05. Results showed no difference in body score (p>0.05) and, in blood biomarkers, it was observed that RDW-CV and MPV were higher in females (p<0.05). In G-MS, red blood cells, Hb, HT and lymphocytes were lower than in G-LIM and G-NAT (p<0.05). In G-LIM, MCV and RDW-SD were lower (p<0.05). In relation to metabolic biomarkers, high concentrations of UA, TRIG, TC, NEFA, Ca and P (p<0.05) were observed in females. Higher concentrations of UA, TRIG, TC, P and Cl were detected in G-LIM (p<0.05), and G-NAT had the highest values for URE, GLU and CK (p<0.05). Results indicated that, even when kept under different management systems, donkeys may present some haematological and blood chemistry values with similar concentrations, and the few differences found may not present clinical significance for the evaluation of these animals. It was concluded that donkeys may present significant variations in different blood and metabolic parameters, when they are of different sexes and/or housed in different management systems. The red series, electrolytes and trace elements were not very sensitive to identify variations related to gender and/or rearing site groups. However, the count of lymphocytes, the combination of MVC with RDWs, CK, as well as concentrations of NEFA and triglycerides, can be used to better understand the adaptations of different management conditions or breeding systems, since they can be modified by the evaluated conditions, contributing to a better understanding of the state of health or disease of the animals of that species.

“…The erythron is assessed from peripheral blood samples, by calculating the number of circulating RBC, hemoglobin concentration (HB), packed cell volume (PCV), volumetric indices, such as mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), a morphological examination at microscopic level (Messer, 1995;Kramer, 2000) and sometimes, examination of the bone marrow (Lording, 2008). When interpreting an equine hematological profile, some specific characteristics of this species should be kept in mind.…”

“…Similarly, assays of RBC creatine concentrations enable a more accurate evaluation of the erythropoietic response in horses. Mean RBC creatine concentration is significantly higher in young RBC populations (Wu et al, 1983), it shows a positive correlation with the reticulocyte count in bone marrow aspirates and a negative correlation with myeloid-erythroid ratio (Lording, 2008). However, it is not a common clinical procedure.…”
