Benesi F.J., Teixeira C. M. C., Lisboa J.A.N., Leal M. L. R., Birgel Jr E. H., Bohland E. & Mirandola R. M. S. 2012. [Erytrogram of healthy female Holstein calves during the first month of life.] Eritrograma de bezerras sadias, da raca Holandesa, no primeiro mes de vida. Pesquisa Veterinaria Brasileira 32(4): 357-360. Departamento de Cl nica Medica, Faculdade de Medicina Veterinaria e Zootecnia, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Campus Universitario, Av. Prof. Dr. Orlando Marques de Paiva 87, Sao Paulo, SP 05508-000, Brazil. E-mail: febencli@usp.br In order to establish reference values, and to assess the in fluence of the age factor on the erytrogram of healthy Holstein calves, blood samples from 300 animals were used, spread over 15 experimental groups, according to age, in the first month of life. Variations of the average values for the components of erytrogram were as follows: number of red blood cells (x10(6)/mm(3)) = 6.68-7.60, packed cell volume (%) = 29.80-33.35, hemoglobin concentration (g/dl) = 9.00-10.43, mean corpuscular volume (fl) = 38.93-47.68, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (pg) = 11.75-14.69, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (%) = 29.53-31.63% and number of reticulocytes (x10(3)/mm(3)) = 0.00-11.86. The in fluence of the age factor proved to be significant for the mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and the number of reticulocytes.
