Abstract
    The most widespread diseases in calves are respiratory diseases, which along with intestinal diseases produce important economic losses through prolonged morbidity, mortality, necessity sacrifices and the lack of weight gain. Bronchopneumoniae have a seasonal dynamics, occurring more frequently during autumn and winter, also may develop in the case animal clusters as enzootic.
    Most researchers believe that in gastroenteritis there is dehydration of the body followed by a hemoconcentration and, at the same time, relative increase in the number of erythrocytes. Due to the limited possibilities of compensating the hydro-mineral metabolism, the installation of acidosis is favored.
    The research was carried out on a 3-9-month-old taurine youth group grown in a farm in northern Moldova. The total number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, total white blood cells and blood levels were determined. Blood samples were drawn from the jugular vein into vacutainer tubes on EDTA support. The determinations were done with hematological analyzor ABX MICROS VET ABC.
    Research suggests that the number of erythrocytes is increased in the diseased individuals and the leukocyte formula changes significantly for neutrophils, eosinophils and lymphocytes.

Key words: calves, blood, hemoleucograma (CBC)
