The aim of this study was to evaluate the percentage of reticulated platelets in healthy dogs with breed-related thrombocytopenia. Seventy two dogs, clinically healthy, were enrolled in the study. Blood was collected from the patients and anticoagulated with tripotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (K3-EDTA) and sodium citrate. Platelet count was obtained by an impedance haematology analyser and...
Long-distance endurance rides involve strenuous effort, which induces numerous changes in the horse’s body, including the exercise-induced acute-phase response (APR). Such a reaction has also been reported in humans and dogs after exertion, but it varies depending on the species and the type of exercise. In horses, the exerciseinduced APR is manifested as an increase in serum amyloid A (SAA) after...
The immune system is one of the main toxicity targets of the T-2 toxin. In view of scant research data demonstrating the effect of T-2 on cellular and humoral responses in gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), this study set out to investigate the effects of chronic exposure to low doses of the T-2 toxin (200 μg T-2 toxin kg⁻¹ feed) on percentages of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T lymphocytes, CD4⁺/CD8⁺ double-positive...
The study was carried out on 30 clinically healthy dogs of various breeds. Haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, platelet count and platelet haematocrit were significantly lower in citrate blood than in tripotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA-K3) blood. The study confirmed the limited usage of sodium citrate in haematology analysis, unless canine EDTA-dependent thrombocytopenia is suspected.
The study aimed at evaluation of total count and pattern of somatic cells, as well as lactose content in relation to the type of bacterial pathogens in goat milk. The study was conducted on 66 Polish White Improved and Polish Fawn Improved dairy goats. A total of 487 milk samples were taken from day 30th, 60th and 200th of lactation for three years. The milk samples were divided into four groups:...
The influence of caprine arthritis-encephalitis (CAE) virus infection on the population of peripheral blood leukocytes in goats was evaluated. For this purpose two groups of adult dairy female goats were formed. The experimental group consisted of 17 goats, which had been naturally infected for many years. The control group comprised 29 non-infected goats, which originated from CAE-free herd. All...
The study aimed at assessing the parameters of the innate cellular response in streptococcosis and mixed respiratory infections in swine. Flow cytometry was used to determine the phagocytic and oxidative burst activity of neutrophils and monocytes. In Streptococcus suis infection, monocytosis was accompanied by a lower percentage of all phagocyting cells in comparison to the control group, and a lower...
The hypothesis that acute pancreatitis in dogs could be diagnosed based on the ratio of urinary α-amylase activity to creatinine concentration (U-A/C) was tested. The study was performed on 292 dogs. Based on clinical, laboratory , and imaging findings, the dogs were divided into the following groups: 34 healthy patients serving as the control, 48 sick dogs with U-A/C>2.9, and 210 sick dogs with...
