Punganur cattle, Andhra Pradesh, Haematological profileAbstract
This study aimed to establish baseline haematological reference values of Punganur cattle, to address the data gaps due to its limited population. Blood samples from 175 healthy cattle were collected three times, at intervals of 15 days. Data on 18 parameters, including total leucocyte count, lymphocyte, monocyte, granulocyte, erythrocyte, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, RBC distribution width, platelet count, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, and plateletcrit were collected and recorded. These data would serve as baseline reference values for the health assessment of Punganur cattle.
