Abstract

The importance of genetic resource preservation has been highlighted in the literature as a means of maintaining genetic diversity. Investigations for hematologic values and the differential count of white blood cell count (WBC) for Korean indigenous cattle (KIC) and endangered indigenous cattle (EIC) are rarely performed. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the hematologic values of total 40 EIC (White, Black, Mini cattle) and 35 KIC as control by analysis of hematologic characteristics. As a result, the mean values of RBC and platelet of EIC were significantly decreased by age (p<0.05). The mean values of RBC, HCT, MCV and MCHC between EIC and KIC of the same age (2~3 years) showed the statistical significance (p<0.05). Also, in the WBC of EIC, the mean values were decreased according to the age from $13.9{\times}10^3/{\mu}L{\sim}12.7{\times}10^3/{\mu}L$ under 1 year to $9.1{\times}10^3/{\mu}L{\sim}11.5{\times}10^3/{\mu}L$ over 2 years respectively. In the differential count of WBC of EIC (White, Black, Mini cattle), it showed generally the rates of 40.2%, 52.2%, 49.0% lymphocyte and 27.2%, 33.9%, 32.0% segmented neutrophil from 2~3 years respectively. Result of this study will be used for establishing reference range for blood analysis in EIC such as white, black and mini cattle. This study reported hematological values which could serve as baseline information for comparison in conditions of nutrient deficiency, physiological and health status of endangered Korean native cattle. In addition, this study provides a valuable resource for further investigations of the preservation of rare genetic stocks underlying traits of interest in cattle.

본 연구에 사용된 공시축은 2013년 1월부터 2014년 12월까지 국립축산과학원 가축유전자원시험장 장내에서 사육 중인 모색을 기준으로 일반한우(황우), 백한우, 흑우 및 미니한우 등 총 75여 두(황우, 백우, 흑우 그리고 미니 한우)를 대상으로 연령별, 종별 그리고 성별로 각각 분류하고, 이들에 대한 혈액학적 수치를 확인하였다. 백한우와 흑우의 혈액학적 검사 결과에서 1년 이하에서 3년 이상으로 연령이 증가됨에 따라 RBC($11.6{\sim}9.4{\times}10^6/{\mu}L$, $12.3{\sim}9.9{\times}10^6/{\mu}L$로)와 PL치($645{\sim}510{\times}10^3$/, $673{\sim}425{\times}10^3/{\mu}L$로)에서 각각 유의성 있는 감소(p<0.05)가 인정되었다. 동일 연령(2~3년)의 대조군으로서 일반한우군과 희소한우군(백우, 흑우, 미니소) 간의 비교에서는 각각 RBC 수치가($10.0{\times}10^6/{\mu}L$, $9.6{\times}10^6/{\mu}L$, $10.5{\times}10^6/{\mu}L$, $10.1{\times}10^6/{\mu}L$)와 HCT (44.8%, 43.2%, 45.8%, 43.9%), MCV(53.5 fL, 52.1 fL, 54.9 fL, 53.7 fL) 및 MCHC(28.9 g/dL, 28.3 g/dL, 29.8 g/ dL, 29.0 g/dL)에서 일반한우와 희소한우 품종들 간의 차이점이 인정되었으며, MCV와 MCHC에서도 통계적 유의성이 인정되었다(p<0.05). 또한, 백한우와 흑우의 백혈구계 검사 결과에서도 1년 이하에서 3년 이상으로 연령이 증가함에 따라 WBC 수치($12.7{\sim}9.1{\times}10^3/{\mu}L$, $13.9{\sim}11.7{\times}10^3/{\mu}L$)가 감소하는 경향이 각각 인정되었으며, 동일 연령(2~3 년)의 희소한우의 백혈구 분포의 백분율에서는 전반적으로 림프구가 40.2~52.2%를, 분엽형 호중구가 27.2~33.9%로 나타났다. 일반한우군과 백한우군 간의 백혈구계의 림프구 수치의 비교에서는 백한우군(40.2%)로 일반한우(49.8%)에 비하여 유의적으로 낮음(p<0.05)을 확인하였다.
