MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF COWS BLOOD DEPENDING ON THE MANIFESTATIONS OF CHILDBIRTH AND POSTNATAL PATHOLOGY
The research is aimed at the study of relationship of morphological characteristics of cows’ blood depending on the manifestations of childbirth and postnatal pathology. During the experiment, the animals of the examined groups were in the same conditions of feeding and maintenance in the structure of the diet of which the dry matter was 44.95 %. To carry out the study, 40 dry cows were selected on the principle of pairs-analogues, in which blood was taken 30 days before calving in order to study morphological characteristics. During the comparative analysis of blood parameters 30 days before calving, during calving and postnatal period two groups of animals (with pathology and without pathology) were formed. It was found that the reduced content of hemoglobin, eosinophils, lymphocytes in cows with pathology is a predisposing factor to postpartum complications.
