Evaluation study of the normal hematological parameters of donkeys in Baghdad city Iraq

Abstract EN

The present study was aimed to determine the normal ranges (means ± SE) of some hematological parameters (Packed Cell Volume, Hemoglobin, Erythrocyte Count, Mean Cell Volume, Mean Cell Hemoglobin, Mean Cell Hemoglobin Concentration, Leukocyte Count, Differential Leukocyte Counts {Relative and Absolute} and Platelets, of clinical healthy donkeys, by using 25 donkeys (11 males; 14 females) aged between 1-4 years in Baghdad city/ Iraq.

The results showed that the average (mean) of these parameters in males and females were PCV 32.4-48.7% (39.01±1.53%), 31.6-45.9% (39.82±1.13%); Hb 9.6-14.3 g/dl (11.65±0.49 g/dl), 8.9-14.10 (11.82±0.36 g/dl); RBC 4.69-7.6×106cell/mm3 (6.06 ±0.26×106cell/mm3), 4.59-8.5×106cell/mm3 (6.29 ±0.25×106cell/mm3; MCV 58.9-70.1 fl (64.6±1.04 fl), 53.6-73.9 fl (63.7±1.72 fl); MCH 17.5-20.6 pg (19.29±0.33 pg), 16.6-21.7 pg (18.95±0.42 pg); MCHC 28.3-32.8 g/dl (29.86±0.36 g/dl), 28.2-30.9 g/dl (29.77±0.22 g/dl); WBC 5700-14100 cell/mm3 (10990±860 cell/mm3), 5400-15300 cell/mm3 (10821±800 cell/mm3); L.
