Abstract
Bargur cattle breed is a medium sized, draught breed of cattle available in
Tamil Nadu, India and it is a unique breed well adapted to special type of
climatic, nutritional, environmental and pathogenic exposure. The current
study was formulated to establish the normal reference haematological range
for different age groups of Bargur cattle which were maintained in the
TANUVAS-Bargur Cattle Research Station, Bargur, Tamil Nadu, India. In
this study, haematological parameters such as Total Erythrocyte Count (TEC)
106/μL, Total leukocyte count (TLC)103/μL , Packed cell volume (PCV) per
centage, Haemoglobin concentration (Hb) g/dL , Mean corpuscular volume
(MCV)(fl) , Mean Corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) pg, Mean corpuscular
haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) g/dL and platelets 103/μL were
estimated with use of Automatic Haematological Analyser for different age
groups. The average corresponding values were 8.46 ± 0.42, 11423.08 ±
518.52, 34.40 ± 2.31, 11.15 ± 0.79, 40.89 ± 1.63, 13.31 ± 0.54, 32.62 ± 0.50
and 303785.71 ± 23665.90, respectively, obtained in the present study for
adult Bargur cattle. Study results indicated that all the haematological values
were under the normal physiological range. These findings of this study may
serve as reference values in which alterations due to metabolic, nutrient
deficiency, physiological and health status can be compared for diagnostic and
therapeutic purposes.
