Abstract

This study conducted to comparison of some blood constituents between horses participated an endurance racing. Jugular vein puncture was done to collect blood from15 horses (1 gelding, 2 mares, and 12 male). These horses had been classified to three breeds include 12Kurd, 1 pure Arab, 2cross-breed and participated in the endurance racing of 0 (before competition), 15 (After first loop) and 30 km (final loop). Horses were classified in three age-groups include below 5(n=1), 5-10 (n=10) and above 10years of age (n=4). Hematocrit and Hemoglobin percentage, Total protein concentration, Red blood cell and White blood cell counting, glucose and cortisol level were measured at before starting competition (0), 15 and 30 km. Data was analyzed by SPSS (version 22). Results showed significant difference in glucose level after 30 km (P<0.05) but not after 15km (P>0.05). No significant difference was observed between cortisol concentration and age groups (P>0.05) but, there was significant difference between cortisol concentration and gender (P<0.05). Breed had influenced on HT, Hb, TP and WBC (P<0.05). Otherwise breed had no effect on RBC, glucose level and cortisol concentration (P>0.05). HT and WBC counting were higher in Arab, cross breed and Kurd respectively. Hemoglobin percentage was found higher in Arab, Kurd and Cross breed respectively. Total protein concentration in Arab was higher than Cross breed and Kurd. In conclusion, in short distance endurance competition of horses, stress is not effect on metabolism of animal, furthermore, gender and breed could important in blood parameters alterations.
