[Effect of motor activity of different intensity upon the blood composition and respiratory function in domestic animals during their first months of life].
Responses of the blood content, breathing function and gaseous metabolism to changes of motional activity level in calves in the first 30 days of a postnatal period were investigated. Keeping of calves in conditions natural for mature animals at different motor activity levels as compared with the locomotion limitation leads to a lesser reduction of hemoglobin content, haematocrit ratio, red cells and reticulocytes count in blood of calves during first 30 days of life. In comparison with calves with additional motor activity, 10-day old calves with natural motor activity and locomotion limitation showed an increase of the protein level and reduction of glucose and cholesterol in the blood. Locomotion limitation of calves during the first 30 days of postnatal period caused reduction of the blood oxygen carrying capacity (erythrocytes and reticulocytes count) with simultaneous decrease of breathing function and gaseous metabolism efficiency (breathing output, minute ventilation, carbon dioxide output and oxygen uptake).
