Abstract:
Above three year age of apparently healthy 150 Kosali cattle of either sex was randomly identified to assess the effect of season, gender and its interaction on various leukocyte parameters in Kosali breed of cattle from the plain region of Chhattisgarh. 5ml of blood samples were collected from jugular vein into collection tubes (1.8mg EDTA /ml of blood) during different seasons (rainy, winter and summer) of year. Each sample was maintained at 4 ^°C for analysis of leukocyte profiles. Leukocyte profiles such as total white blood cell (TWBC), differential leukocyte count and platelet count were estimated with automatic blood analyzer. Seasons significantly affected all the constituent of leukocytes viz lymphocytes, mococytes, neutrophills, basopholls, eosinophills and neutrophills / lymphocyte ratio except platelets in Kosali cattle. Similarly, gender also significantly influenced all the constituent of leukocyte profile like lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils and neutrophills / lymphocyte ratio. Interaction of sex and season did not differ significantly the lecukocyte profiles except neutrophills / lymphocyte ratio. It can be concluded that gender and season variables affected the differential leukocyte count in Kosali breed of cattle in Chhattisgarh.
