Abstract
The dynamic surface tension (DST) data and biochemical parameters (BCP) of animal blood have been obtained. A strong positive correlation was found for goats between σ1, σ2, σ3 (DST) and sodium levels (BCP), λz (DST)—with the levels of lipid and sodium (BCP); whereas a strong negative correlation was found for goats between σ3 (DST) and the level of total protein and chloride (BCP), λz (DST)—with the level of albumin (BCP). A strong positive correlation was found for horses between σ1, σ2, σ3 (DST) and lipid levels (BCP); λ0 (DST)—the level of chloride (BCP); λz (DST)—the level of albumin and chloride (BCP). A strong negative correlation was found for horses between σ1 (DST) and sodium level (BCP); σ2, σ3 (DST) and chloride level (BCP); λ0 (DST) and lipid level (BCP). Some moderate and weak correlations of different types were also found, but these have less importance for practical usage. The particular correlations between BCP and DST data of the same serum samples allowed DST data to be checked directly at the farm, and requiring the use of more expensive and time-consuming biochemical analysis only in cases of high necessity for a particular animal.
Highlights
Powerful techniques for dynamic surface tension (DST) measurement have been developed and successfully applied for various biological liquids [1,2,3,4], and this has particular importance for human medicine [5,6], general biochemistry [7,8,9] and veterinary fields [8,9,10,11]

A detailed discussion of the DST measurements of human biological liquids taken from patients with kidney disease (Chapter 4), with rheumatic diseases (Chapter 5), with pulmonary diseases (Chapter 6), with diseases of the central nervous system (Chapter 7), and with neoplasms (Chapter 8) is provided in the book of Kazakov, V.N. et al [5]
Summary
Powerful techniques for dynamic surface tension (DST) measurement have been developed and successfully applied for various biological liquids [1,2,3,4], and this has particular importance for human medicine [5,6], general biochemistry [7,8,9] and veterinary fields [8,9,10,11]. Successful studies of human biological liquids were carried out in detail by the colleagues from the Donetsk Medical University [5,6] with DST devices and technology from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces and “SINTERFACE Technologies e.K.” (Berlin, Germany) [1]. An interest in the fundamental and applied sides of such studies has been growing over recent years, as can be seen from the publications concerning the temperature dependence of blood surface tension [12], the main characteristics of the power spectrum of bubble oscillations for complex analysis [13], the analysis of tensiograms of cerebrospinal fluid [14,15], DST application as a medical diagnostic tool [16,17], etc
