| Abstract | ||
| This project was designed to study shapes of sex chromatin (SC) in polymorphonuclear leucocytes (neutrophiles) and relationship with some blood metabolites traits in local buffaloes. This study was carried out at laboratories of animal production techniques department, Al-Musiab Technical College, during the period extended from July to November 2015. This study included 20 adult females buffaloes (4-10 years old). For this purpose blood samples were collected, prepared and examined to determine presence of SC and it's figures and measurements. The results showed that percentage of Sessile Nodule (SN), Small club (SM), Drum stick (D), and Tear drop (T) figures were 52 , 34.7 , 12.57 and 0.72% respectively. The overall means of horizontal axes, vertical axes and area of nucleus were 14.82 µm, 15.6µm and 181.486 µm2respectively, and the overall means of horizontal axes, vertical axes and area of SC were 1.02 µm, 1.05µm and 0.840 µm2respectively. The overall means of the number of lobes reached 4.27 lobes. The results also showed that non-significant effect of SC figures on glucose and total protein concentrations, while the effect was significant (P<0.05) on total cholesterol and triglycerides concentrations. In conclusions, possibility to use figures of SC as a means of selection and genetic improvement | ||
