Popis: | The aim of this study was to observe the effect of age on selected biochemical parameters of horses’ blood. Horses were divided in four age categories (5, 6, 7 and 9 years old). Blood was collected from 31 horses (Furioso breed). Assessment of biochemical parameters was realized by Randox RX Monza analyzer. Significant differences were observed between different groups in total proteins. Concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and chlorides correlate with the age of the animals. Similarly, liver enzyme activities correspond to age groups. In the other monitored biochemical parameters any significant differences between the groups were found. The achieved results confirm the connection between age of horses and values of biochemical parameters. |
