Abstract: | Seventy-three healthy dogs of the German Shepherd breed were tested for working out broader haematological standards. The red and white blood picture includes 14 parameters on the whole, all of them being obtained from dogs aged 6.5 to 7 years. The statistically evaluated results are always processed for such a number of animals to secure 95% reliability and due accuracy and generalizing ability of the results. In the mentioned haematological values, no differences concerning the influence of age were demonstrated statistically. The haematological standards, worked out during the study, are regarded as fully applicable to clinical laboratory diagnostics and prognostics in veterinary cynology and for the clinical physiology of dogs. |
