Haematological examinations have been carried out on 21 clinically normal male and female adult yaks (Bos grunniens). Animals sedated with xylazine had significantly lower red cell counts, haemoglobin levels and packed cell volumes, fewer lymphocytes and higher monocyte counts than those bled while manually restrained. There were few significant sex differences. Several animals had eosinophilia associated with asymptomatic intestinal nematode infection. Haematological reference values were calculated for clinically normal, xylazine sedated and manually restrained yaks. These were used to identify haematological changes in 10 animals with various abnormal clinical signs. It was concluded that blood counts can provide valuable diagnostic information in this species.
对21头临床健康的成年牦牛（Bos grunniens）进行了血液学检查，这些牦牛有雄性也有雌性。用赛拉嗪镇静的动物与手动保定采血的动物相比，红细胞计数、血红蛋白水平和血细胞比容显著降低，淋巴细胞数量减少，单核细胞数量增加。性别差异不显著。几头动物出现嗜酸性粒细胞增多，与无症状肠道线虫感染有关。计算了临床健康、赛拉嗪镇静和手动保定的牦牛的血液学参考值。这些参考值用于识别10头有各种异常临床体征的动物的血液学变化。得出的结论是，血细胞计数可为该物种提供有价值的诊断信息。
