Some Observations on the Effect of the Concentration of Ethylenediamine Tetra-Acetic Acid (EDTA) on the Packed Cell Volume of Domesticated Animals

摘要: SUMMARY This paper describes the effect of concentration di-potassium salt ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid per ml. blood on packed cell volume dog, cat, horse, pig and sheep. The pattern in sheep was similar, mean fall PCV as EDTA increased from 1 to 50 mg./ml. between 20 25 cent. In dog however, some 35 These results are compared with those reported man it is concluded that small cat more attention should be paid could easily lead an error estimation. Storage at 4°c for 48 hours had little size red cells horse but storage 24 hours room temperature caused increase 10 cent cells.
