“…Comparison of the published RIs (ČEBULJ-KADUNC et al 2002;ČEBULJ-KADUNC et al 2003;LACERDA et al 2006;PRITCHARD et al 2009;MUNOZ et al 2012;TAKASU et al 2013;NIEDZWIEDZ et al 2013;CYWINSKA et al 2015;SAMPLE et al 2015;AROS et al 2017;PRVANOVIĆ BABIĆ et al 2019) was demanding due to non-standardized terminology, methodology and statistical methods used (HENNY et al, 2016). Some studies present their RIs according to the 2012 ASVCP reference interval guidelines, however, others still report their results as mean ± 2 standard deviations, often without reporting the statistical distribution function of their parameters.…”

“…Lately, many studies have shown variations in the reference values of various horse populations and breeds (ČEBULJ-KADUNC et al, 2002;ČEBULJ-KADUNC et al, 2003;LACERDA et al, 2006;PRITCHARD et al, 2009;MUNOZ et al, 2012;TAKASU et al, 2013;NIEDZWIEDZ et al, 2013;CYWINSKA et al, 2015;SAMPLE et al, 2015;AROS et al, 2017;PRVANOVIĆ BABIĆ et al, 2019), WRIGHT et al (2019) recommended the use of the more appropriate individualized (subject-based) reference intervals for parameters with a high degree of variation between individuals. The underlying rationale of the current study is that RIs in laboratory medicine are critical for diagnostic accuracy.…”

Hematological and biochemical reference intervals for adult Croatian Posavac horse

et al. 2019

The aim of the study was to establish breed-specific hematological and biochemical reference intervals (RI) for Croatian Posavac horses. Strict criteria were established for inclusion of reference subjects, blood specimen collection and handling. Blood samples from 125 healthy, adult Croatian Posavac horses of both sexes (94 mares and 31 stallions) were used to determine RIs. Statistical analysis was performed according to the 2012 ASVCP guidelines for nonparametric RIs. RIs for hematological parameters from this study were quite compatible with RIs for warmblood horses for 11 out of the 20 measured parameters. The reported biochemical RIs in our study agree well with RIs for a mixed population of Croatian coldblood breeds, except for LDH, GGT and ALP. The RI for total protein and albumin differ substantially from the published RIs, and from a clinical viewpoint further investigation is warranted. The RIs established in this study provide a useful baseline for the clinical assessment of hematological and biochemical data of Croatian Posavac horses.

Erythrogram, leukogram, and acute phase protein reference intervals for healthy newborn Murrah buffalo calves (Bubalus bubalis) within the first month of life

et al. 2017

Establishing of reference intervals (RI) for hematologic variables and blood serum acute phase proteins (APP) of healthy newborn buffaloes is an important tool for monitoring alterations during infection and inflammation. Considering the scarcity of published data on newborns, the aim of the study was to establish RI for hematologic variables and APP from healthy newborn buffaloes. Blood samples from 28 healthy Murrah buffalo calves, 10-30 days old, were selected to determine RI. Fourteen hematologic and four blood APP variables were analyzed. Before collection of blood samples, calves were subjected to physical examination (rectal temperature, degree of dehydration, and fecal consistency) and only calves that were considered healthy were included in the study. The Anderson-Darling test was used to assess normal distribution of values. The Dixon test and Tukey test were used to identify outliers. RI and 90% CI were determined using standard/robust methods and Box-Cox transformation. RI for variables analyzed were the following: (1) hematologic variables: RBC 7.5-12.9 × 10 6 /μL, HGB 10.6-19.0 g/dL, packed cell volume 33.1-54.8%, mean corpuscular volume 36.2-50.6 fL, mean corpuscular hemoglobin 12.1-17.3 pg, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration 28.1-42.9 g/ dL, platelets 361-1081 × 10 3 /μL, WBC 6.56-18.2 × 10 3 / μL, lymphocytes 4.15-12.8 × 10 3 /μL, segmented neutrophils 0.950-10.6 × 10 3 /μL, band neutrophils 0-0.160 × 10 3 /μL, monocytes 0-0.754 × 10 3 /μL, eosinophils 0-0.326 × 10 3 / μL, and basophils 0-0.149 × 10 3 /μL and (2) APP variables: fibrinogen 2.49-9.50 g/L, haptoglobin 0.02-0.56 g/L, serum amyloid A (SAA) 3.70-97.51 μg/mL, and C-reactive protein (CRP) 0.02-2.78 μg/mL. In conclusion, hematologic and acute phase protein RI have been documented and can be used as a physiologic database to help the interpretation of laboratory results of newborn buffaloes during infection and inflammation conditions.
