Abstract:
Blood volumes of 51 horses of three different breeds were determined by means of radioisotopes Cr 51 and Fe 59 . The mean values obtained in 34 determinations for 31 Thoroughbred English race horses are as follows: total blood volume, 10.31; plasma volume, 6.33; and red cell volume 3.98 liters/100 kg body weight for a hematocrit of 42.7%. The results for 6 saddle horses are: 7.75, 5.25, and 2.53, respectively, for a hematocrit of 37.3%. The results in 14 draft horses are: 6.14, 4.35, and 1.82 for a hematocrit of 33.5%. The differences observed in the blood volume values of the three breeds are statistically significant. In our opinion, these differences are due to their physiological qualities, according to the breed.
