Summary

Red blood cell counts, haemoglobin, packed cell volumes and total and differential leucocyte counts as well as E-MCHC, E-MCH, E-MCV values and the osmotic fragility of erythrocytes are described for the Finnish reindeer. The samples were taken in early autumn from 52 reindeer of varying ages.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurden in dieser Arbeit folgende Blutwerte beim finnischen Rentier untersucht: die Erythrozytenzahl, die Leukozytenzahl und das Differentialblutbild sowie der Hämatokritwert und das Hämoglobin, das mittlere Erythrozytenvolumen, die mittlere Hb-Konzentration der Erythrozyten, das mittlere Hämoglobin der Erythrozyten und die osmotische Resistenz. Die Blutproben wurden im Oktober 52 Rentieren entnommen. Die Tiere waren 1/2 bis 12 Jahre alt.
