Measurement and Analysis of Physiological and Biochemical Index Contents of Shanghai Buffalo
To study the physiological and biochemical indexes contents of Shanghai buffalo,the mentally healthy and healthy Shanghai buffalo calves(under 1 year old),young cattle(1-2 years old),and adult cattle(over 3 years old)were selected to measure the physiological indicators contents,blood physiological indicators contents,and blood biochemical indicators contents.The results showed that the body weight of Shanghai buffalo significantly increased with age(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in respiratory rate and heart rate(P>0.05).Among the 22 detected blood physiological indexes contents,10 indicators(mean corpuscular volume(MCV),mean corpuscular hemoglobin(MCH),mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration(MCHC),red cell distribution width(RDW),lymphocyte percentage(%LYM),monocyte percentage(%MONO),neu-trophil percentage(%NEU),eosinophil percentage(%EOS),lymphocyte(LYM),and monocyte(MONO))had significant differences(P<0.05),while the other 12 indicators(red blood cells(RBC),hematocrit(HCT),hemoglobin(HGB),percentage of reticulocytes(%RETIC),reticulocytes(RETIC),white blood cells(WBC),percentage of basophils(%BASO),neutrophils(NEU),eosinophils(EOS),basophils(BASO),platelets(PLT),and platelet hematocrit(PCT))had no significant differences(P>0.05).Among the 18 tested blood biochemical indicators tested,9 indicators(blood glucose(GLU),creatinine(CREA),phosphorus ions(PHOS),calcium ions(Ca),total protein(TP),globulin(GLOB),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),choles-terol(CHOL),and pancreatic amylase(AMYL))showed significant differences(P<0.05),while the other 9 indicators(urea(UREA),blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio(BUN/CREA),albumin(ALB),albumin/globu-lin ratio(ALB/GLOB),alkaline phosphatase(ALKP),glutamyl transferase(GGT),total bilirubin(TBIL),tri-glycerides(TRIG),lipase(LIPA))had no significant differences(P>0.05).This study provided reference for the selection and breeding,growth and development evaluation,nutritional status evaluation and disease diagnosis of Shanghai buffalo.
