The influence of the physiological state of rabbits on hematological indicators with changes in the area of the plantary surface of the feet

The influence of the physiological state of rabbits (pregnancy and lactation) on the hematological parameters of blood during changes in the area of the plantar surface of the feet of the hind limbs in conditions of cage keeping was studied. In the body of pregnant females, with the appearance of signs of hyperkeratosis and alopecia in the studied area of the feet, an increase in hemoglobin level occurs, an increase in MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin), MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume), MCHC (corpuscular hemoglobin concentration) occurs, followed by a decrease in the development of hemorrhagic changes. The level of red blood cells has slight fluctuations. In lactating females, with the occurrence of alopecia and hyperkeratosis, an increase in the level of erythrocytes and hematocrit occurs with a simultaneous decrease in hemoglobin, and against the background of the development of hemorrhages, these indicators decrease, a decline in the values of MCH, MCHS and an increase in MCV are recorded. Regardless of the physiological state of the animal and changes in the area of the feet, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) value and the level of leukocytes fluctuate within the limits of physiological values, which indicates the absence of an inflammatory process in the body. he revealed hematological changes indicate the development of adaptive processes in the event of hyperkeratosis and alopecia in the area of the plantar surface of the feet at various physiological conditions of rabbits with subsequent decompensating against the background of hemorrhagic changes.
