Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine morphometric values of erythrocytes in donkeys and horses. While the hematological and biochemical profiles of horses and donkeys have been previously documented in literature, there are no precise morphometric data regarding erythrocytes in donkeys. Given the increasing presence of donkeys in the world, the need exists to improve knowledge about this species. Balkan donkey is a large autochthonous breed found in Serbia. Blood cell parameters such as red blood cell count (RBC), Mean Corpuscular Volume or Mean Cell Volume (MCV) are well documented in horses. However, papers examining blood morphometry in donkeys, especially erythrocyte size, are scarce. The clinical examination in this study included a total of 72 horses and donkeys. All animals were adults, located in Vojvodina, Northern Province of Serbia. Blood samples were evaluated and analyzed using ImageJ program. Following the analysis of the morphometric diameters of erythrocytes in donkeys and horses, it can be concluded that donkeys have the largest erythrocyte diameters. The precise reason for this phenomenon is still unknown.

驴和马红细胞形态计量学研究

本研究的目的是检测驴和马的红细胞形态测量值。马和驴的血液学和生化特征在以前的文献中已有记载，但驴的红细胞形态却没有精确的数据。鉴于驴在世界上的数量越来越多，有必要增进对这一物种的了解。巴尔干驴是塞尔维亚的一个大型本土品种。马的血细胞参数，如红细胞计数（RBC）、平均体液容积或平均细胞体积（MCV）都有详细的记录。然而，研究驴的血液形态，尤其是红细胞大小的论文却很少。本研究的临床检查包括 72 匹马和驴。所有动物均为成年，位于塞尔维亚北部省份伏伊伏丁那。使用 ImageJ 程序对血液样本进行了评估和分析。对驴和马的红细胞直径形态进行分析后得出结论，驴的红细胞直径最大。造成这种现象的确切原因尚不清楚。
