Overview

Observational analysis revealed significant variations in haematological parameters based on age, breed, and sex in horses, indicating their physiological status.

Key Points

  • Higher hemoglobin concentration and white blood cells count were found in stallions compared to mares, showing notable differences in sex.
  • Older horses exhibited lower hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin values than younger ones, reflecting age-related changes.
  • Analysis of blood samples from 100 horses showed that activity levels influenced erythrocyte osmotic fragility, underscoring the importance of fitness.
  • Haematological values were within normal reference ranges for horses, suggesting healthy populations in South-western Nigeria.
