Comparison of some hematological values and alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE)-positive lymphocyte ratios of sheep breeds (Hissar and Edilbaev) reared in Kyrgyzstan

Abstract

The aim of the study was to the compare the hematological parameters and ANAE-positive lymphocyte ratios of sheep breeds (Hissar and Edilbaev) which reared in Kyrgyzstan and present the reference values. Fifty (50) ewes (Hissar, n=20 and Edilbaev, n=30) were clinically examined and blood samples were taken. There were no difference on hematological parameters between the breeds (p>0,05). RDW-CV (red cell distribution width) and RDV-SD (standard deviation) values were found higher (p<0,05) in Hissar ewes. ANAE-profile were detected higher in Edilbaev ewes (p<0.01). Consequently, some hematological values and ANAE-profile were determined and advised as reference values.
