Breed and Gender-related differences in Some Hematological Parameters of 3-Year-Old Horses in Flat Racing in Turkey

Amaç: Atların hematolojik değerleri ırk, cinsiyet, yaş ve yetiştiği coğrafyaya göre farklılık gösterebilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye'de düz yarışlarda koşan 3 yaşlı atların hematolojik değerlerinde ırk ve cinsiyete bağlı farklılık olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Ayrıca, Türkiye'de yarışan 3 yaşlı yarış atlarının normal hematolojik değerleri için bir referans oluşturabilmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu amaçla 2017 yarış sezonunda İstanbul Veliefendi hipodromunda koşan 3 yaşlı sağlıklı 40 adet Arap (n: 20 aygır, n: 20 kısrak) ve 40 adet İngiliz (n: 20 aygır, n: 20 kısrak) atlarının istirahat halindeki mevcut hemogram değerleri analiz edilmiştir. Hemogram analizine eritrosit sayısı, hemoglobin ve hematokrit değerleri, ortalama eritrosit hacmi, ortalama eritrosit hemoglobin miktarı, ortalama eritrosit hemoglobin konsantrasyonu, eritrosit dağılım genişliği, toplam lökosit sayısı, nötrofil, lenfosit, monosit, eozinofil, bazofil ve trombositsayıları dahil edilmiştir. Veriler iki yönlü varyans analiz metodu kullanılarak Windows SPSS 13 paket programında analiz edilmiştir. Kullanılan istatiksel modelde ırk, cinsiyet ve ırk x cinsiyet etkileşimlerine ana etkenler olarak yer verilmiştir.Bulgular: Araştırma sonucunda ırkın hematolojik değerler üzerine etkisi olduğu, düz yarışlarda koşan 3 yaşlı İngiliz atlarının eritrosit sayısı (P

Türkiye’de Düz Yarışlarda Koşan 3 Yaşlı Atların Hematolojik Değerlerine Irk ve Cinsiyetin Etkisi

Aim: Breed, gender, age and geographical locations affect the hematological values of horses. The aim of this study is to evaluate the breed and gender related differences in hematological parameters of 3 year-old horses running in flat racing in Turkey. A second aim is to establish a preliminary study for the normal ranges of hematological values in 3-year-old horses racing in Turkey.Materials and Methods: The hemogram data were collected from apparently healthy horses consisting of 40 Arabian (n:20 stallions; n:20 mares) and 40 Thoroughbred (n:20 stallions; n: 20 mares) 3-year-old horses who raced at Istanbul Veliefendi Racetrack in Turkey in 2017. Hemogram parameters were blood counts of red blood cell, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, red cell dispersion width, white blood cells, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil, basophil and platelet. Data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance method in SPSS for Windows version 13.0. The statistical model included breed, gender and breed x gender interactions as main effects.Results: Red blood cells (P
