초록

In order to effective treats a sick calf, it is necessary to obtain accurate information about the patient's condition. However, the standard references for Korean cattle claves are not well known. Therefore, this study aims to present useful clinical values by analyzing normal blood and diarrhea blood of Hanwoo calf. Recently, with the advent of a portable blood analyzer, it is possible to immediately analyze the patient's condition and severity in the field, not in the laboratory, and to calculate a suitable dosage for supporting fluid therapy. Therefore, in this study, the distribution of red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC) were analyzed in normal and diarrhea Hanwoo calves. As a result, Hematocrit (HCT) levels increase significantly between 1 and 20 days in diarrhea positive calves. Changes in leukocyte composition had similar growth patterns in normal and diarrhea calves. As it grew, the proportion of neutrophils decreased and lymphocytes increased. However, the number of WBCs increased from 1 to 10 and 21 to 30 days in diarrhea positive calves, which is closely related to the increase in neutrophils. Therefore, those data can be used for diagnosis and treatment of diarrhea calf.
