Specific reference values (in range) are needed for each
animal species for the appropriate interpretation of the results obtained from
serum biochemical and haematological
tests. The aim of this study was to determine ranges of Haematological
and Biochemical parameters of pure-bred Arabian and Barbe mares to evaluate the
need for defining reference values for different breed groups.
20 clinically healthy mares from one farm (Chaouchaoua
HARAS-Tiaret. Algeria) were divided into two groups. Groups 1 and 2 comprised
10 Arabian Mares and 10 Barbe Mares (age from 04 to 09 years). Glucose, urea,
albumin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Gamma Transferase (GT), Creatinine
phospho kinase (CPK), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K) concentrations were measured in the blood
serum samples.
Haematological profile were determined, red blood cell
parameters (MCV, MCH, MCHC), number of leucocytes and the percentage of their
respective platelets kinds, There were significant Breed related differences
for most of the biochemical and Haematological parameters, (Potassium)P=
0.006*,(urea)P= 0.000***, (GGT), (Albumin) P= 0.043*, P= 0.041*, except for:
AST, CPK, RBC, Hb, Fibrinogen.
The results of the present study indicate that there is
variation in the values of most of the biochemical and haematological indices
of Arabian and Barbe mares in Algeria. ((Haematocrit %) P= 0.031 * (VCM um3) P=
0.022 * (MCHC g/dl) P= 0.027 * Leucocytes P= 0.01 *(poly éosi mm3) P= 0.000***
(poly baso mm3 ) P= 0.037 *(Lympho mm3 ) P= 0.001 ** (Platelets M/mm3 ) P=
0.012 *.
The breed influences some of the resting haematological and
biochemical indices in adult Mares. Barbe Mares used for reproduction have
higher performances capacity and show a more beneficial adaptation for the
Algerian environment compared to Pure Arabian Mares used for reproduction.
