Barari, S.K., Biswas, D. and Pal, R.N. 1995. Normal Hemogram of Yak (Bos grunniens). J. Appl. Anim. Res., 7: 99–103.
Haematological values in 13 healthy yaks (body temp.101.IF, pulse rate 54/min, respiration 55/min) reared on winter pasture (2750m above msl; average ambient temperature −0.3 to 12.3C; humidity 30–100 per cent) were determined. Total RBC, WBC, Hb, PCV and ESR were found to be 5.20 x 106/μl, 9.9 x 103/μl, 10.2 g/dl, 25.37% and 0.54 mm/h. DLC revealed 30.0, 53.8, 10.1, 5.5 and 0.5% of neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes and basophils respectively. MCV (fl), MCH (pg) and MCHC (g/dl) were 49.3, 20.0 and 41.0 respectively.
