The clinical picture of blood of dogs in various types of feeding

Abstract

A comparative assessment of the morphological parameters of the blood of service dogs using cooked food and service dogs of the customs service when using dry food “Pro plan” of super premium class for adult dogs has been carried out. For the experiment, 2 groups of dogs with 10 clinically healthy animals each were formed. Blood tests showed that dogs that were fed cooked (natural) food in comparison to dogs, whose diet consisted of dry forages "Pro plan" super-premium, the level of hemoglobin was lower at 18.0%, the number of red blood cells by 14.0%, the average content of hemoglobin in one erythrocyte by 7.0 %, gematokrita value of 18.7 %, the average volume of red blood cells by 8.9%. Color index and erythrocyte sedimentation rate on the contrary was higher in dogs of the first group compared with the second, respectively, 4.5% and 60.0% of. In leucogramma dogs with feeding natural food, the percentage of segmented neutrophils was higher by 12%, and the stab neutrophils is almost two times than dogs with dry feeding. The percentage of lymphocytes on the contrary was lower in the first group by 22.9 %, and mon ocytes 2 times less than in the second group of animals. Thus, the results of the research of morphological indicators of blood of dogs show a relatively high balance of finished dry food, as well as on the complexity of the formulation and preparation of balanced diet for dogs, based on natural products.
