Effect of swimming on physiological and hematological parameters in the horse
The present study describes the heart rate, respiratory rate and hematological parameters of Colombian Criollo horses trained in a swimming pool at the Villa María breeding farm in El Palmar, Villa del Rosario in the North of Santander. Seven Colombian Criollo horses between 36 and 60 months old were sampled at rest (T0), at the end of the training (T1) and 15 minutes after finishing the training (T2). The focus of this research was quantitative, based on measuring the characteristics of the phenomenon, delimited by the variations of physiological and hematological constants of the evaluated equines. The analysis of the results showed that the T0 and T2 samples presented physiological parameters within the normal ranges for heart rate, respiratory rate and hematological parameters. In the T1 sampling, the lymphocytes and monocytes showed difference in relation to the other samples, where the lymphocytes decreased and the monocytes exceeded the normal level. These results indicated a higher degree of response to stress.
