Alterations in Hematological and Biochemical Parameters Affecting the Reproductive Performance in Female Camels (Camelus Dromedaries)
Journal Title: International Journal of Veterinary Health Science & Research (IJVHSR) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of alterations in hematological and biochemical parameters especially liver, renal enzymes and some element concentration on the reproductive performance of female camels. Blood samples were collected from 51 adult female camels. 39 adult female camels (diseased) suffered from anorexia, decreased body gain, some camels were emaciated and with varying degrees of reproductive abnormalities starting from repeat breeder, anestrous and infertility and 12 control camels that showed no evidence of clinical disease during clinical examination and samples collection. The results of hematological, biochemical and ultrasonographic findings were recorded. The hematological results showed significant reduction in erythrocyte count (RBCs), hemoglobin (Hgb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) with significant increase in packed cell volume (PCV%). The leucocyte count (WBCs) and neutrophils percentage were significantly increased in diseased camels compared to controls while, lymphocyte percentage was significantly decreased in diseased camels. The serum activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinas (CK) and γ-glutamyl transferase (γGT) was significantly increased in diseased camels. The concentration of selected elements in serum indicated significant reduction in copper, calcium and phosphorous concentration in diseased camels. Progesterone concentration was significantly decreased in diseased camels. Other tested parameters did not differ significantly in diseased and control camels. In conclusion, the hepatorenal dysfunction parallel with inanition might affect on the reproductive performance especially ovulation.
