Implication

Randomized trial evaluates seasonal effects on platelet indices in mares, indicating adaptive responses to environmental conditions.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the seasonal changes in platelet count and derived indices in clinically healthy mares and assess their interrelationships.
  • Monitored forty clinically healthy Spanish Purebred mares (6–12 years) over one year under natural conditions.
  • Collected monthly blood samples to analyze platelet count and derived indices using an automated hematology analyzer.
  • Seasonal effects were evaluated using non-parametric repeated-measures analysis.
  • Significant seasonal variation observed in most platelet indices (p < 0.05).
  • Platelet count was lowest in autumn while size and heterogeneity increased in warm and cold seasons.
  • Correlation analysis revealed associations among platelet size, mass, and heterogeneity, with inverse relationships between density and activation variables.
