Abstract
Aim: To generate baseline
data on the hematological profile of local pig of Mizoram at
different age groups.
Materials and Methods: 2 ml of blood samples were collected
from 108 Zovawk pigs of three different age groups viz.
pre-weaning, grower and adult groups reared in the Veterinary
College, Aizawl Livestock Farm in order to find out the normal
hematological profile. The hematological parameters were estimated
by using an automatic blood analyzer.
Results: Total erythrocyte count (TEC), Total leukocyte
count (TLC), Packed cell volume (PCV), Mean corpuscular volume (MCV)
and Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) were significantly higher in
adults as compared to the young ones (p<0.05). MCH declined
significantly from the pre-weaning pigs to grower pigs and
increased in adult pigs (p<0.05). There was no significant change
in Hb and MCHC with age.
Conclusion: Hematological parameters of Zovawk, a locally
available indigenous pig of Mizoram were investigated.
Hematological profile changed with the age.
Keywords: hematology, Mizoram, pig, Zovawk.
