Haematological changes associated with crude oil ingestion in experimental rabbits

Abstract: Blood cell profile among experimental rabbits associated with crude oil ingestion were evaluated and was significantly (P<0.05) altered. Erythrocytes decreased linearly (P<0.05) indicating an anemic condition. The decrease also affected dependable factors such as packed cell volume (PVC) and haemoglobin (Hb). Leukocyctes, the main defense cells of the animal decreased linearly (P<0.05) further indicating susceptibility of the animal to stress and infection. Granulolytic leukocytes, which include neutrophils an… Show more

“…Hematological Studies on ecology and physiology are important for understanding how blood properties relate to the surroundings [8], and therefore might be helpful in choosing the creatures that have particular hereditary disorders and environmental circumstances resistant to them [10,9]. Another useful physiological state markers for animals are hematological measures [11], they have reportedly offered useful insight on the health of an animal's immune system Egypt.…”

“…Hematology refers to the study of the number and morphology of the cellular components of blood basically the red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leucocytes) and the platelets (thrombocytes) in addition to the application of the outcome in the diagnosis and monitoring of disease (Merck 2012). Hematological studies are of ecological and physiological importance in helping to understand the connection of blood characteristics to the environment (Ovuru & Ekweozor 2004). Hematological complications consist primarily of irregularities in the functions morphology and metabolism of erythrocytes, leucocytes and platelets (Comazzi et al, 2004).…”

“…The haematological values of farm animals are influenced by age, sex, breed, climate, geographical location, season, day length, time of day, nutritional status, life habit of species, the present status of an individual, and other factors (Afolabi et al 2011). Haematological studies facilitate understanding the response of blood constituents to the environment (Ovuru and Ekweozor 2004). They, in addition, help to determine the adaptation to high-altitude hypoxic environments (Barsila et al 2014).…”
