Hematological alterations in blood smears from pigs
Main Article Content
Abstract
In order to study the health status of sows in a production unit, clinical examination and blood analysis were carried out based on leukocytes count, red blood cell indicators and blood smear as a complementary study. The hematological analysis of the zootechnical category of breeding sows showed 26.08 % of the animals (6/23) with anemia and 47.82 % (11/23) with leukopenia. The study on the blood smear showed structures compatible with hemoplasmas in 65.21 % (15/23) of the animals studied and in 66.66 % (4/6) of the animals with anemia. The results represent a starting point for future research aimed at the detection of the pathogenic hemoplasmas using PCR assays.
