The haematological values in N'Dama, German Brown, and N'Dama x German Brown crossbreds are examined. The mean haematological values for the crossbreds were compared with those for their pure bred parents. Data on packed cell volume, haemoglobin and red blood count values, mean corpuscular volume...

Osmotic resistance of erythrocyte in hypotonic saline was spectrophotometrically determined in White Fulani cattle, West African Dwarf sheep and goats.Osmotic fragility was found to be highest in goat with maximum resistance occuring at 0.75% and 0.55% sodium chloride solutions. It was lowest in ...

Three breeds of cattle, the White Fulani (zebu breed), German Brown and Holstein (European breeds), of the same age, kept under identical conditions were studied to delineate differences in some body fluid charateristics. Data on comparative values of blood contituents, serum constituents and bod...

The blood values of the German Brown, N'Dama and their three-quarter, half and quarter hybrids were studied to ascertain the effects of crossbreeding on haematological parameters. The red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) counts and packed cell volume percentage (PCV) were significantly...
