Abstract
The indocyanine green excretion test was performed in dairy cows, and the usefulness of this test was demonstrated. The results were obtained as follows; (1) Absorption maximum of indocyanine green dye was observed at the wavelength of 805 nm, (2) The dose of indocyanine green dye was varied between 0.25 and 0.75 mg/kg body weight in heifers with no significant (P>0.05) difference in plasma clearance, (3) When the dose of 0.25 mg/kg body weight was given to cows, the disappearance was exponential from 2 to 8 min after injection of indocyanine green dye solution in heifers and calvers, and (4) No side effects during and after injection of indocyanine green dye solution were observed.
