Is the hemoglobin content different in calves male and female animals?
Hemoglobin content levels vary from location to location. Calves that live in a higher elevation may have a higher hemoglobin content than calves that live in a lower elevation. Also, male calves tend to have a higher hemoglobin content than females, and differences in breed also provide variances. However each slight is slight to the point where it can be considered insignificant. According to the journal article below (Clinical and Hematological Studies on Experimentally Induced Selenosis in Crossbred cow calves), the normal hemoglobin content of calves is around 11.92 g/dl. According to the second journal article below (The Hemoglobin Content of the Blood of Dairy Cattle), the average normal hemoglobin content of calves per 100 cc of blood, regardless of sex or breeding, is 10.46 grams. It is useful to note the key differences of Hb between breeds and between areas where each dairy herd was studied.
What is the difference between the range of hemoglobin levels in cow and calves?
Hemoglobin content in cows tends to be slightly higher than in calves, but this varies with each individual cow and calf.. Also, changes in elevation will also affect hemoglobin content in cattle. Differences in breeds is also another factor to consider. However each factor is slight to the point where it can be considered insignificant. According to the scientific journal article entitled The Hemoglobin Content of the Blood of Dairy Cattle (see link below), regardless of breed, the average normal hemoglobin content of cows per 100 cc of blood is 10.94 grams. The average for calves is slightly less, of 10.46 grams. However, calves hemoglobin content can be lower, sometimes down to ~8 grams per 100 cc of blood (see second link below).
