Study on erythrocyte osmotic fragility in apparently healthy cholistani camels reared under intensive farming system
Keywords:
erythrocytic fragility, one-humped camels, hemolysis, hematology, genderAbstract
The present study is the first of its kind conducted with an aim to assess the level of Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility as affected by various factors (varying levels of temperature and pH, age and gender) in apparently healthy Cholistani breed of one-humped camels (n=27) being reared under intensive farming system. Blood was aseptically collected and assessed for %age hemolysis (H%) as per prescribed protocols. Results revealed that the H% decreased with increasing pH and with increasing temperatures, and values within reference range were noticed at the pH of 7.4 and 8.5, and at the temperatures of 37°C and 50°C ranging from 0.4±0.1% to 0.9±0.1%, at NaCl concentration of 0.85g/L. Regarding age, adult camels had significantly (P≤0.05) higher H% (1.0±0.2%) as compared to that in young camels (0.68±0.01%) at the NaCl concentration of 0.85g/L. Gender, however, had a non-significant (P≥0.05) effect on H% for male and female camels. This preliminary study furnishes an insight into physiological adaptations of one-humped camel/camel blood in differing environment and will enable to attain maximum productivity in times of stress through appropriate management and feeding practices. We recommend using EOF as a routine hematological attribute and also recommend further studies on H% in pathological conditions of camels.
