الوصف: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of hematic constants related to age in Romanian buffalo, in order to establish references values based on age of the animals. A number of 45 Romanian buffalo animals, clinically healthy, were divided into 3 groups (n=15/group) according to their age, as follows: Group T1 = un-weaned buffalo calves of 1 to 3 months of age, Group T2 = young buffalo heifers of 6 to 12 months, and Group T3 = buffalo adult cows of 3 to 5 years of age. Different hematological parameters and biochemical parameters were investigated in the three groups. Generally, a significant effect of age on both hematological and biochemical indices studied was observed (P<0.05). The concentration of total cholesterol and the concentration of inorganic phosphorous were not influenced by age of the animals (P>0.05). Significant positive correlations were found between total protein and age of the animals (P=0.0019), while significant negative correlations were observed between hemoglobin (P=0.0227), white blood cells count (P=0.0352), lymphocytes (P=0.0002), platelet (P=0.0022), total cholesterol (P=0.1201), calcium (P=0.0077) and age of the animals. The results of the current pilot study could prove useful in establishing a baseline and health alarm thresholds for hematic parameters in water-buffalo, based on age of the animals and physiological status.
