Ultrastructures Of Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells And Platelets In Four Species Of Macaques In Thailand, Kamol Sakulwira, Wimon Pothiwong, Pakorn Prachammuang, Siripen Vethchagarun
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The structure of blood cells and platelets in 11 macaques (2 stump-tailed macaques, 5 long-tailed macaques, 1 rhesus macaque and 3 pig-tailed macaques) were studied using light and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Erythrocytes were non-nucleated, biconcave disks without cytoplasmic organelles. Neutrophils had numerous small specific granules. Eosinophils contained specific granules with a dense matrix and a pale crystalloid body. Basophils revealed large round specific granules. Lymphocytes possessed scant cytoplasm with some mitochondria and azurophilic granules. Monocytes contained a large number of mitochondria, azurophilic granules and endoplasmic reticulum. Platelets were represented by anucleation and they had several different organelles in the …

This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with hydrated aluminosilicate (antitoxic nutrient-ATN), based on zeolitic ore (of > 90% clinoptilolite), bentonite (of > 83% montmorillonite), and small amounts of activated charcoal, on performance, hematological, serum, and liver biochemical parameters, as well as organ weights and meat quality in broiler chickens. The study included 300 1-day-old broilers of both sexes, which were assigned at random to 2 groups based on treatment: no dietary supplementation (control) and supplementation with 5 g/kg of ATN (ATN group). Dietary supplementation with 5 g/kg of ATN in broiler diets significantly increased weight gain only during the 1{st} …
