Analysis of Blood Haematological and Biochemical Parameters in Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) Raised in Cam Thuy District, Thanh Hoa Province

Abstract

     This study was done to determine blood haematological parameters (red blood cell count, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, white blood cell composition, platelet cell count and other platelet parameters) and blood biochemistry (total plasma proteins, serum albumin, globulin and glucose, serum sodium, serum postassium, serum chloride and calcium levels) of water buffaloes raised in Cam Thuy district, Thanh Hoa province. Red blood cell count, hemoglobin values, white blood cell count, platelet cell count, plasma total protein and globulin concentrations were age-dependent. Sex dependences were observed in red cell distribution width but not in white blood cell and platelet values. The determined values were compared with reference values of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) and results obtained from previous studies. The present results can be employed as reference data for study, diagnosis and treatment of bufalo diseases with widely used automated analyzers for clinical blood parameters.
