摘要: Blood count and biochemical tests are used to diagnose diseases in domestic animals. These can be influenced by age, gender, nutrition, breed, species environmental conditions. Thus, data from one region should not extrapolated animals raised other regions. The objective of this study was determine the hematological values different ages genders Santa Ines sheep, eastern Amazon. There were examined 91 sheep that assigned three groups: G1 (three six months old, n = 31); G2 (seven 24 30) G3 (above 30). blood cell count, white determinations made with an automatic counter a semi-automatic analyzer, respectively. Mean compared using Tukey test. number erythrocytes, red indices, thrombogram, eosinophils, total protein, urea creatinine concentrations age erythrocyte coefficient variation concentration greater males. neutrophil:lymphocyte (N:L) ratio than for all groups. This led determination reference Eastern Amazon demonstrated when interpreting gender must considered.
