Penyakit rhinitis merupakan penyakit radang saluran pernafasan bagian atas baik akut mahupun kronis. Apabila tidak segera ditangani maka akan memiliki kecenderungan terjadi perluasan radang kearah larynx, trakea, bronkus, dan paru-paru serta dapat menimbulkan radang pada sinus nasalis dan frontalis sehingga penanganannya lebih sulit dan mahal. Dalam rangka upaya peningkatan populasi kuda di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta perlu dilakukan peningkatan pelayanan kesehatan kuda, salah satunya dengan studi gambaran darah kuda penderita rhinitis di D.I. Yogyakarta. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran darah kuda penderita rhinitis akibat infeksi bakterial. Penelitian menggunakan 18 ekor kuda penderita rhinitis pada bulan Mei hingga September 2015 yang dilaporkan oleh peternak kuda di Daerah Kabupaten Bantul, Kota Yogyakarta dan Kabupaten Sleman kepada klinik hewan PORDASI DIY. Kuda-kuda tersebut dilakukan pemeriksaan baik melalui wawancara tentang keluhan sakit pada kuda dan pemeriksaan kesehatan umum secara rinci melalui sistem organ pada tubuh kuda. Kemudian, diambil darahnya melalui vena jugularis dan dimasuk tabung yang diberi EDTA lalu dimasukkan ke media transport dan dikirim ke Laboratorium Ilmu Penyakit Dalam untuk pemeriksaan gambaran darah. Hasil pemeriksaan darah rutin ditabulasi dan dianalisis secara deskriptif komperatif. Hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahawa parameter eritrosit tidak mengalami banyak perubahan tetapi kisaran White Blood Cell (WBC) berada di dalam kisaran normal maksimal yaitu sebesar 8,67-10,51 ribu sel/mikroliter, sedangkan pada batas normal WBC kuda sehat adalah 4,08-11,00 ribu sel/mikroliter. Ada juga terlihat sedikit peningkatan dalam kadar TPP dan fibrinogen.

Rhinitis is an inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract that may be acute or chronic. If not treated immediately, there is inclination to spread towards the larynx, trachea, bronchus, and lungs, as well as cause appearance of inflammation at the sinus nasalis and frontalis, causing treatment and management of the disease to become complicated and costly. In an effort to increase horse populations in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, action must be taken to increase horse health services; one of by providing blood profiling of equine patients suffering from rhinitis in the area. The aim of the research is to determine the blood profile of horses with rhinitis caused by bacterial infection. Research was conducted on 18 horses reported with rhinitis in the months of May to September 2015, from Kabupaten Sleman, Kota Yogyakarta, and Kabupaten Bantul, to the PORDASI DIY veterinary clinic. 18 horses were confirmed to suffer from rhinitis by information gathered from questioning the clients of the patients' clinical history as well as by thorough examinations of visible clinical signs. Blood is taken from the patients via the jugular vein and kept in a tube containing ethylenediaminetetra-acetic (EDTA) acid, before being placed in a suitable transport container to be sent to the Laboratory of Internal Medicine for a blood profile evaluation. The blood profiles obtained is tabulated and analyzed, and the results show minimal differences in erythrocyte parameters, except for slight changes in the average White Blood Cell (WBC) count, which remained in the maximum normal range; that is, 8.67-10.51 thousand cells/microlitre. The normal WBC levels for a healthy horse is around 4.08 - 11.00 thousand cells/ microlitre. There is also a slight increase in TPP and fibrinogen levels.
