Abstract
Effect of Diarrhea on Hematocrit and Serum Biochemical Profile in Foals
Highlights
IntroductionThe aim of this study was to assess the effects of diarrhea on hematocrit and various serum biochemical parameters (serum electrolytes, trace and ultra-trace elements) in foals
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of diarrhea on hematocrit and various serum biochemical parameters in foals
Tubes containing ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) were used for determination of Packed cell volume (PCV) using microhematocrit method
Summary
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of diarrhea on hematocrit and various serum biochemical parameters (serum electrolytes, trace and ultra-trace elements) in foals. The sodium, calcium, copper, iron and lithium concentrations significantly (p < 0.05) decreased while the potassium concentration significantly (p < 0.05) increased in diarrheic foals This can be concluded that diarrhea in foals have significant correlation with PCV, serum electrolytes, and trace and ultra-trace elements. Keeping in mind the importance of equines, this study was designed to assess the effects of diarrhea on various serum biochemical parameters (serum electrolytes and trace elements) in foals. This is the first study up to our knowledge regarding the assessment of trace elements in diarrheic foals
