Blood from Horses and Cows In Vitro Exposed to Quaternium-15 and Thiacloprid: Haematology and Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility Alterations

Blood cells are constantly exposed to several pollutants, including xenobiotics, and they can be considered a useful target for pollution exposition of the animal. The aim this study was investigate effects two xenobiotics (Quaternium-15, preservative used in personal care products, Thiacloprid, neonicotinoid pesticide) on haematological profile erythrocyte osmotic fragility (EOF) equine bovine blood samples. Ten samples from horses cows were 24 h Quaternium-15 at concentration 0.1 1 mg/L Thiacloprid 30 60 µg/mL. A decrease values red cells, white haematocrit, haemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, platelets, an increase EOF found compared control. According results gathered current study, xenobiotic compounds herein tested negatively affect indices causing haemolysis both cattle horse blood. This despite being preliminary, emphasizes concept that excellent evaluating xenobiotics.
