Investigation of Hematological Profiles in the Growth Process of Van Cat Breeds

Abstract

In this study it was aimed to determine hematological parameters of healthy Van Cat breeds during their growth period from birth to one year old. For this purpose; 20 Van Cat breeds (10 male and 10 female) were used in the same care and nutrition conditions in Van Cat Research Center. Blood samples were taken regularly from the Van Cat breeds every month for a year. Hematocrit and hemoglobin levels were the lowest in the first (29.9 ± 0.9%, 10.0 ± 0.3 g/dL) and second (29.9 ± 1.9%, 10.0 ± 0.7 g/dL) months and reached the highest level (40.4±2.2%; 13.0 ± 0.6 g/dL) at the 10th month during the growth period. The percentage of granulocytes was lowest in the first month, and increased in the following months. Lymphocyte/Monocyte (%) ratios was determined that decrease in between 4th and 12th month, and lowest value (18.6±3.2%) at 5th month. In conclusion; it was reached that it would be useful to interpretation the changes of hematological parameters in growth process of the Van cat breeds.
