Antler efficiency and hematological parameters of marals’ blood of Altai-Sayan breed in the conditions of the Republic of Tuva

The results of studying of antler production to efficiency and hematological parameters of the blood of marals-stags of Altai-Sayan breeds of 5 years of age, delivered in 2015 from the Republic Altai and bred now in the Republic of Tuva are submitted. Average weight antlers marals of experimental group makes 3.2 kg, the length of the trunk makes 50.2 cm and the thickness of the trunk makes 15.2 cm. In spite of the fact that the minimal values of all investigated parameters marals to the Tuva population concede to the given parameters marals of the Republic of Altai, the maximal values of certain parameters are practically at one level that testifies about enough successful realization of genetic potential antler efficiency of marals-stags of Altai-Sayan breeds in natural-climatic and fodder conditions of the Republic of Tuva. Positive correlations of various significance between the parameters of the antler efficiency of marals-stags (r = 0.42…0.84) are established. The results of morphological research of blood show that the concentration of erythrocytes and hematocrits in blood marals, bred in Tuva, have been within the limits of the norm. The maintenance of hemoglobin in blood is by 9.1 % below established ARRIARB normative parameters. The quantity of leukocytes in blood is higher than the established norm 40.4 %, i.e. the consequence of stress reaction of the organism of the stags in time cross-section of the antlers. Average negative correlation of the level of granulocytes in blood with the weight of antlers, the thickness of the trunk, the length of supraorbital, ice and average shoots (r =-0.36 …-0.67) is revealed. The quantity of lymphocytes positively correlates with the weight of antlers, the thickness of the trunk, the length of supraorbital and ice shoot (r = 0.42 … 0.63), monocytes - with the length of supraorbital shoot (r = 0.43). To the greatest degree the weight of antlers depends on the thickness of the trunk (r = 0.84), and the thickness of the trunk, in its turn - on the evel of lymphocytes in blood (r = 0.63).
