Utilização de parâmetros hematológicos e bioquímicos na avaliação de equinos submetidos a exercício de alta intensidade e longa duração

Abstract

In order to evaluate possible influences of physical exercise on blood, calcium and phosphorus homeostasis, blood and blood serum samples from ten Arab and Anglo-Arabian horses, male and female, clinically healthy, were studied. of equestrian enduro. The samples were collected before the test started and after its completion. Values of calcium, phosphorus, total leukocyte count, globular volume and total protein were determined, which were subjected to analysis of variance, and when significant, the means were compared by the Tukey test. There was a statistically significant difference for phosphorus, total leukocyte count and globular volume. (P <0.01).
