Abstract
Aim: To investigate the
influence of season on erythrocyte picture, plasma enzyme and
electrolyte profile of local pig of Mizoram at a different age.
Materials and Methods: A volume of 2 ml of blood samples were
collected from 72 Zovawk pigs of three different age groups
viz. pre-weaning, grower and adult pigs reared in College of
Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry Selesih, Aizawl, Mizoram,
India, livestock farm during summer and winter in order to find
out influence of season on erythrocyte picture, enzyme and
electrolyte profile. The hematological parameters were estimated
by using an automatic blood analyzer. The biochemical parameters
were estimated by using diagnostic kits.
Results: The grower pigs had lower hemoglobin (Hb), packed
cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular
Hb (MCH) during summer, rainy and winter seasons (p<0.05) and
lower MCH concentration (MCHC) during summer season (p<0.05).
Adult pigs had lower Hb with higher total erythrocyte count in
rainy season. PCV and MCV of adult pigs decreased in summer
(p<0.05). Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase activity of both
the grower and adult groups increased during summer and rainy
seasons (p<0.05). Zovawk pigs had higher sodium (Na) and lower
potassium (K) in rainy season (p<0.05). Pre-weaning piglets had
higher Na, K, calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) in summer than in
winter. Grower pigs had higher Na, K and Ca in summer (p<0.05). Pi
of pre-weaning and grower groups was higher in winter. Adult pigs
had lower alkaline phosphatase activity and Ca in summer and
higher Pi and Mg in winter (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Seasonal variation in some hemato-biochemical
parameters of Zovawk pig were investigated. Influence of season on
the hemato-biochemical profile was most evident during the grower
stage, followed by adults and pre-weaning piglets.
