[Acid-base values of porcine blood]. / Acidobazické hodnoty krve prasete

The main indices of acid-base balance of venous blood (v. auricularis extrema) were determined in 100 clinically disease-free pigs divided into categories with 20 animals each (piglets, pigs from 30 to 40 kg, pigs from 80 to 100 kg, sows, and boars). The Astrup method was employed for the determination of pH, pCO2, total CO2, BE, BB, AB in individuals, groups, and in the set as a whole. The Astrup PHM 71 and BMS 2 apparatuses were used. The results were summed up in a table and in graphs, including the Siggaard-Andersen curve nomogram. Statistical significance was calculated at p greater than 0.05. The average ABB values were determined in the set of 100 pigs; pH 7.306 +/- 0.013, pCO2 53.4 +/- 1.6 mmHg, total CO2 27.6 +/- 0.5, BE --1.0 +/- 0.4, BB 46.2 +/- 0.7, SB 23.5 +/- 0.4, AB 26.0 +/- 0.5 mEl-1.

[Values of acido-basic balance in the blood of the beagle breed dog in comparison with the German shepherd dog]. / Hodnoty acidobázické rovnováhy krve psa plemene beagle v porovnání s plemenem nemecký ovcák

The values of acidobasic balance were examined in 101 dogs of the Beagle breed and in 20 German Sheep-Dogs. The Beagle dogs were divided into five age groups. A difference was found between the values obtained in the group of the youngest dogs and those in older age groups. In comparison with Beagle dogs, the values were higher in German Sheep-Dogs (pH, base excess). A figure is attached representing the deviations of the values of acidobasic balance of blood in the two breeds.

[Biochemical and hematological changes in the blood of horses after the "Velká Pardubická" steeple chase]. / Biochemické a hematologické zmeny v krvi koní po dostihu "Velká pardubická".

Blood parameters were studied in two groups of horses in the "Velká Pardubická" steeple-chase in 1974, 1975 and 1976. After the race, the levels of lactate showed a manifold increase; an increase was also ascertained in the levels of glucose, sodium, potassium, haemoglobin, in the haematocrit value and in the number of erythrocytes. The following parameters significantly dropped: the levels of acid-base balance - pH, base excess, bicarbonate levels. It was proved that the values of the same parameters in horses during training were incomparably lower. It is advisable to examine horses thoroughly during training and to use the results of training for the evaluation of their condition before difficult races.

[Values of acid-base equilibrium in the blood of various species of domestic animals]. / Hodnoty acidobazické rovnováhy krve nekterých druhu domácích zvírat

By means of the Astrup equilibration method the values of the acid-base balance of the blood were determined in 104 cows, 99 horses, 100 pigs, 15 sheep, 20 goats, and in 101 dogs. The pH values of the blood, the partial pressure of CO2, the base excess, the base buffer, the standard bicarbonate, the actual bicarbonate, and the total CO2 were processed statistically and are presented in tables.
