MARTINEZ-GRIMALDO, R. E.; QUIROZ-ROCHA, G.F. y DOMINGUEZ, Y.. Hematological analyte reference limits in adult dairy goats. Rev. Med. Vet. Zoot. [online]. 2018, vol.65, n.2, pp.121-129. ISSN 0120-2952. https://doi.org/10.15446/rfmvz.v65n2.75628.
With the aim to establish the hematological analyte reference limits of clinically healthy adult goats of dairy producing breeds, subjected to the handling and characteristics of intensive production systems in the Mexican Plateau, the blood samples of 2-year old and older goats at different production stages were collected and analyzed. Reference limits (interval in brackets) for hematocrit (0.22-0.36 L/L), erythrocyte count (9.07-18.47 x1012/L), mean cell volume (MCV) (14.44-27.91 fL), platelets (229-3163 x109/L), total solids (65.64-84.64 g/L), fibrinogen (0-6 g/L), leukocyte count (3.75-11.47 x109/L), segmented neutrophils (0.95-4.98 x109/L), band neutrophils (0-0.16 x109/L), lymphocytes (1.76-6.44 x109/L), monocytes (0-0.65 x109/L), eosinophils (0-1.36 x109/L) and basophils (0-0.37 x109/L) were obtained. These values were compared with similar study results. Differences were found mainly in the values for hematocrit, erythrocytes, MCV, platelets, total leukocytes, and lymphocytes; this is due to environmental and feeding differences between the studies.
