Blut- und Speichelparameter beim Kaltblutpferd in Ruhe und bei Zugarbeit

Blood and saliva parameters in the Coldblood horse at rest ad
during draft work Cortisol, lactate, glucose, urea, creatinine,
lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase were monitored in
blood and saliva at rest and during exercise, in order to determine
if blood sampling can be replaced by saliva testing, which is
non-invasive and easier to perform.The results show that this is
not possible for all of the parameters, but seems to work for
cortisol, lactate, LDH and urea.
