Abstract

Reference intervals for blood variables in domestic animals are essential to diagnosing diseases and identifying physiological abnormalities in animal production. Establishing such intervals for water buffaloes is important due to the growing use of this species in livestock, their relevance as a major source of meat and milk, and the lack of specific reference data for certain categories within the species. This study evaluated the blood parameters in growing male water buffaloes. Seventy-five animals from three genetic groups (Jafarabadi, Mediterranean, and Murrah), with an initial body weight of 309.1 ± 60.6 kg and age of 13 ± 1.2 months, were used. All animals were clinically healthy and blood samples were collected from their jugular vein on days 0, 56, and 84. The concentrations of total protein, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), albumin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatinine, bilirubin (total, indirect, and direct), total cholesterol, glucose, lipoproteins, triglycerides, and leptin were analysed using commercial kits. Reference intervals, 90 % confidence intervals, means, standard deviations, and reference values were calculated according to the guidelines of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) by excluding the upper and lower 2.5 % of values for each biochemical parameter. Sixteen blood biochemical parameters were characterised for growing male water buffaloes. The findings provide valuable data for interpreting health status and supporting management practices in water buffalo meat production systems.
生长雄性水牛血液生化参数的参考区间。
家畜血液变量的参考区间对于诊断疾病和识别动物生产中的生理异常至关重要。为水牛建立这样的间隔是很重要的,因为这一物种越来越多地用于牲畜,它们作为肉和奶的主要来源的相关性,以及缺乏该物种内某些类别的具体参考数据。本研究对生长中的雄性水牛的血液参数进行了评价。选用Jafarabadi、Mediterranean和Murrah三个遗传群75只动物,初始体重为309.1±60.6kg,年龄为13±1.2个月。所有动物临床健康,并于第0、56和84天从颈静脉采集血样。总蛋白、高密度脂蛋白(HDL)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL)、极低密度脂蛋白(VLDL)、白蛋白、天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)、γ -谷氨酰转移酶(GGT)、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、肌酐、胆红素(总、间接和直接)、总胆固醇、葡萄糖、脂蛋白、甘油三酯和瘦素浓度分析。参考区间、90%置信区间、均值、标准差和参考值根据国际临床化学和检验医学联合会(IFCC)的指南计算,剔除每个生化参数的上、下2.5%的值。测定了生长雄性水牛的16项血液生化指标。研究结果为解释水牛肉生产系统的健康状况和支持管理实践提供了有价值的数据。
