A survey of some plasma metabolites and haematological parameters of grazing White Fulani cattle and Kano Brown goats in Nigeria

Blood samples were taken from 36 White Fulani cattle and 36 Kano Brown goats over a period of 12 weeks in the dry season and analyzed for haemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count, packed cell volume (PCV), plasma ammonia-N (PAN) and plasma Urea-N (PUN). Rumen ammoni...

description Blood samples were taken from 36 White Fulani cattle and 36 Kano Brown goats over a period of 12 weeks in the dry season and analyzed for haemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count, packed cell volume (PCV), plasma ammonia-N (PAN) and plasma Urea-N (PUN). Rumen ammonia concentration (RAC) was determined in the cattle only. In the White Fulani, the values for Hb, RBC, WBC, and PCV were 11.53g/100 ml; 6.5 million/cu mm; 7.18 thousand/cu mm and 32.03 per cent, respectively. Plasma ammonia and plasma urea were 0.22 mg/100 ml and 1.11 mg/100 ml respectively. In the Kano Brown goats, the mean values for Hb, a RBC, PCV, plasma ammonia and plasma urea were 12.04 per cent, 12.08 million / cu mm, 7.76 thousand/cu mm, 32.9 per cent, 0.24 mg/100 ml and 1.08 mg/l00ml, respectively. In White Fulani cattle PCV was linearly related to Hb (r=0.45, P
