Abstract
Aim: The present study was
undertaken with the objective of determining the reference values
for hematological parameters for Khillar breed of cattle in
general and in the subpopulations such as male, female and
different age group of animals.
Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out at
Khillar Cattle Breeding Farm, Bankapur, Karnataka. A total of
sixty eight animals were used in the study. Animals were grouped
based on sex into male and female and in the age groups 3-5 years,
6-10 years and above 10 years of age. Blood samples with
anticoagulant were collected from these animals and hematological
parameters were determined. Mean values were compared between
males and females, and between different age groups.
Results: Mean and standard error values of all the
hematological parameters for Khillar breed of cattle in general,
male, female and different age groups of animals are tabulated.
TEC, TLC, Hb, PCV and PLT values in males were significantly
higher than female, whereas there were no significant differences
in the mean hematological values between animals in the different
age groups.
Conclusions: The present study reported the hematological
values which could serve as baseline/reference values for Khillar
breed in general, male, female and different age groups of Khillar
breed of cattle. These reference values help in comparison of
normal with various physiological, nutritional and deficiency
conditions.
Keywords: hematological, Khillar breed, Karnataka, profile.
