Lactation and metabolic rearrangement significantly influence hematological parameters. The red bloodline of early lactation cows is characterized by hypochromic changes in erythrocytes a reduced number erythrocytes. concentration hemoglobin linked to milk production, since higher was found heifers (which are not naturally lactating). neutrophils the highest first week after parturition, while lymphocytes lowest same period, so neutrophil:lymphocyte index this period. eosinophils increased...
Changes within an individual during re-evaluation a certain period are referred to as intraindividual variations, and they determined by the coefficient of variation (CVi), which indicates degree variability sample results in comparison population's arithmetic mean. A higher CVi denotes less stability investigated parameter greater individual. By calculating from repeated measurements, one can estimate how much measured parameters fluctuate over time. The ratio group biological represents...
