“…The recorded maximum values of ESR in T1 group was 2.42±0.06 mm in 1 st hour at 5 th month and the minimum value was 1.38±0.05 mm in 1 st hour which was found at 8 th month of age. Higher ESR at early age in the present study was agreed with the result of Sturkie [16] , Kundu et al [17] and Levi et al, [18,19]. Bibert [20], and Sturkie [16] stated that there were many factors responsible for ESR.…”

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of supplementation of commercial layer feed on body weight, egg production and haematological profile of the laying ducks rearing under the rural condition of Bangladesh. Twenty indigenous ducks (Khaki Campbell x Local duck) of 24 weeks old was selected from a farm and randomly divided into four equal groups (n=5) and numbered as group T0, T1, T2 & T3. The different amount of feed was supplied into four groups for three months. The all four groups (T0, T1, T2 and T3) were fed with routine feeding in scavenging condition. But T1 group supplemented with 120 gm, T2 group 60 gm and T3 group 30 gm of commercial feed. Significant differences were found in both egg production and haematological profile of ducks in compared to control group. Egg production was significantly (P<0.01) higher in T1 group compared to other groups. During the study the body weight gain were shown the same pattern being significantly (P<0.05) higher in T1 group compared to T0, T2 and T3 groups. On the other hand, the values of total erythrocyte count (TEC), total leukocyte count (TLC), haemoglobin content (Hb) and packed cell volume (PCV) increased significantly (P<0.05) in the groups of T1 and T2 compared to the control group (T0). But the value of MCV, MCH and MCHC of T1, T2 & T3 groups decreased significantly (P<0.05) than that of the control group. Results of the present study revealed that the amount of supplementation of commercial layer feeds was very important for improving the haematological profile and egg production of ducks. So, the additional commercial layer feed supplementation may be beneficial for duck farming.

“…The higher H/L ratios in females in this study may result from stress due to the laying cycle (Latimer & Bienzle, 2000). This effect is also observed in tundra swans, ostriches and lesser adjutants (Levi et al, 1989;Salakij et al, 2004;Milani, 2009). Their high H/L values could be at least partly due to the stress, involving handling of the wild animals (Davis et al, 2008).…”

SummaryLashev, L., S. Atanasova & Т. Dinev, 2015. Interspecies and gender-related variations of some haematological parameters in Galliformes bird species. Bulg. J. Vet. Med., 18, No. 4,[325][326][327][328][329][330][331][332][333][334][335][336][337] An analysis of literature data about routine haematological parameters of avian species from the Galliformes order is made. Data for the following gallinaceous birds were included: wild and domesticated chicken breeds, common pheasant, quail, turkey, peafowl and guinea fowl. Data for red and white blood picture indices such as haemoglobin, red blood cells (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV), total and differential white blood cell (WBC) counts from the literature as well as own data were used. Gender-related differences were reported by most of authors for RBC, haemoglobin and PCV with higher values in male birds from the Gallus gallus species. Similar results were not found in other species of the order. In most of the cases no statistically significant interspecies or gender-related differences in WBC counts were registered. Tendencies for higher heterophil/lymphocyte ratios (H/L) in male birds were also registered. Differences related to the breed, result of various degree of domestication, were not identified.

“…This is an indicator of radiation provoked immune system damage [15]. Increased erythrocyte and hemoglobin values in mole rats, just like the Ostrichs, may be enlightened by the ability of fast running and high oxygen consumption and transport rates [30,31].…”

UV beams are known to enable photosynthesis in plants and vitamin D synthesis in human, kill pathogen microorganisms and provide heat for the survival of life. On the other hand, solar dermatitis, sun burn, pigmentation, cataract and skin cancer formation, acne, echymosis, keratosis, photodermatosis, light sensitivity, mutation, actinic elastosis and sensitivity to infections due to immune deficiency may be seen due to over exposure to UV beams [1,2,6,7] In this study, the effect of ultraviolet-C (UVC) radiation on hematologic parameters of mole rats (Spalax leucodon) was studied. Ten mole rats of both sexes, weighing 150 -200 g, were used. The rats were exposed to 8 hours daily UVC radiation for 45 days. Before the radiation exposure (as a control) and on day 7, 14, 30 and 45, blood specimens were obtained from the experimental groups. Then blood samples were analyzed and compared to the control groups. A significant decrease or increase of hematological parameters was observed in some experimental groups in terms of the control groups of values (p < 0.05). Alterations in other hematological parameters were not found to be statistically significant (p > 0.05). These results showed that the UVC radiation has significant effects on some hematological parameters of mole rats according to the radiation exposure time and a dose.
