In this paper, the practicability of a quick diagnostic laboratory test to perform blood analysis in healthy pigeons was tested. The Reflotron manufactured by Boehringer Mannheim, works on a dry chemical basis, consists of a reflectance photometer and the accompanying test strips, is easy to use, and yields the result of the desired parameter in a maximum of three minutes. As test material plasma and serum were used. At the time the equipment was tested, test strips for glucose, cholesterol, hemoglobin, triglycerides, urea, uric acid, GOT, GPT and G-GT were available on the market. The usual laboratory "wet chemical" analysis procedures were used to compare the results. The obtained measurements were analyzed using describing and concluding statistics. The influence of gender, feed and time of day on the nine parameters was also considered. |
