To establish blood and biochemical references for the endangered Kiso horse, blood samples were collected from 111 adult Kiso horses, 74.5% of the existing breed. The samples were analyzed for 23 hematological and biochemical parameters to determine their means and standard deviations (SD). We compared the mean ± 2SD with the reference values cited in one of the most commonly used veterinary te...

Reference biochemical values for serum analytes of 126 clinically normal farmed ostriches on one farm in Botswana were established. These included sodium, potassium, chloride, total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, uric acid, cholesterol, total bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, glucose, triglyceride, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, copper, zinc, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferas...

Fluorescence spectroscopy is an important tool of the bioche mist studying the structure and interac tion s of prote ins and nucle ic acid s. The four bas ic quantities to measure accurately are: 1. s pec tra (co rrected excitation and emiss ion). 2. quantum yields (0), 3. fluorescence decay characte ri stics, and 4_ poLarization_ Co mmercially availab le instruments, with little modification, ...

background: we investigated the variations of heamathologic and biochemical parameters with different parasitic burdens and the correlation between fecal egg counts and fluke number in livers of sheep naturally infected with dicrocoelium dendriticum . methods: in order to detect excretion of d. dendriticum eggs, fecal samples from 120 sheep of different age groups were collected individually at...
