Comparative Analysis of Whole Blood Ionised Calcium, Lactate and Chloride Concentrations by Gem Premier 3000 and Edan I15 Vet and the Effect of Parity and Postpartum Blood Collection Time on Blood Calcium Status in Holstein With and Without Subclinical Hypocalcemia - Part 1
Abstract:Lactating Holstein (n=125) were enrolled randomly for the coccygeal whole blood analysis by blood gas devices GEM Premier 3000 (GEM) and Edan i15 Vet (EDAN) between calving to postpartum day 3 (G1) and postpartum day 4 to 27 (G2). Blood pH, ionised calcium (ICA7.4) and lactate analysis were significantly correlated between GEM and EDAN (r=0.86, 0.94, 0.87 respectively). The bias for ICA7.4, lactate and pH analysis was -0.054, -0.344 mmol/L and +0.009 respectively. ICA7.4 was correlated negatively with parity a… Show more
