Abstract
In order to establish a better diagnosis of sheep slaughtered in the municipal slaughterhouse of Korhogo, this study was finally carried out to appreciate the variation of their hematological parameters. All in all, 85 sheep, from Djallonké breed were recruited. The assessment of the various hematological indicators was done by suitable kits for the URIT-2900 automata Analyzer. The results of our investigations showed that the mean age value of the sheep was 1.54 ± 0.17 years. These results revealed that abnormities in the mean values of the hematological parameters were observed in the hemoglobin, Mean Corpuscular Value (MCV), leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes levels. According to gender, females had a significantly higher rate of anemia (25.37 %) than males (5.56 %). In addition, 98.82 % and 75.29 % of subjects had macrocytosis and hypochromia respectively. The study reported high prevalence of leukocytosis by sex, 7.76 % in males and 77.61 % females and by age (79.31 % and 76.79% respectively in young people and adults). In addition, thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis were observed in 25.88 % and 29.41% of sheep, respectively. The result of this is that the hematological profile of sheep intended for consumption in the commune of Korhogo is disrupted with many abnormities.
