Abstract
La AHT, o Autohemoterapia, es un tratamiento que consiste en la reintroducción de sangre autóloga en el organismo para mejorar la respuesta inmune. Este procedimiento se realiza extrayendo sangre de un animal y administrándola nuevamente, generalmente de forma intramuscular. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar el comportamiento de los eosinófilos en los sujetos de estudio antes y después de la aplicación de autohemoterapia. Se llevó a cabo un estudio experimental en la Universidad Técnica de Babahoyo, utilizando un enfoque cuantitativo con 12 hembras bovinas divididas en dos grupos (dosis de 20 ml y 15 ml de sangre autóloga). Se realizó un hemograma inicial antes del tratamiento y se administró la sangre en la tuberosidad iliaca y caudal. Se tomaron muestras de sangre semanalmente durante cuatro semanas para evaluar la población de eosinófilos, utilizando el equipo IDEXX para el análisis. Los resultados mostraron que, aunque no hubo diferencias significativas en las primeras 24 horas, a partir de la primera semana, los grupos tratados con 15 ml y 20 ml mostraron incrementos significativos en los niveles de eosinófilos. La dosis de 15 ml presentó el valor más alto en la primera prueba, sugiriendo que la autohemoterapia mejora la respuesta inmune en bovinos, especialmente a partir de la primera semana tras el tratamiento.

This procedure is performed by extracting blood from an animal and administering it again, usually intramuscularly. The objective of this research was to evaluate the behavior of eosinophils in the study subjects before and after the application of autohemotherapy. An experimental study was conducted at the Technical University of Babahoyo, using a quantitative approach with 12 female bovines divided into two groups (doses of 20 ml and 15 ml of autologous blood). An initial hemogram was performed before treatment, and the blood was administered in the iliac and caudal tuberosity. Blood samples were taken weekly for four weeks to assess the eosinophil population, using IDEXX equipment for analysis. The results showed that, although there were no significant differences in the first 24 hours, from the first week onwards, the groups treated with 15 ml and 20 ml showed significant increases in eosinophil levels. The 15 ml dose had the highest value in the first test, suggesting that autohemotherapy improves the immune response in bovines, especially from the first week after treatment.
