Haematology & Biochemistry
Haematology & Biochemistry
Our laboratory offers comprehensive haematology and biochemistry testing to support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plans for your horse. These tests include complete blood counts (CBC), which evaluate red and white blood cell levels, platelets, and hemoglobin concentration to detect infections, anemia, and other hematological disorders.
Our biochemistry panel measures vital parameters such as liver and kidney function, electrolytes, muscle enzymes, and metabolic profiles. These tests are crucial for diagnosing systemic diseases, monitoring organ function, and managing nutrition and performance in equine athletes.
Blood gas and electrolyte tests
These tests are essential for assessing the respiratory function, acid-base balance, and overall metabolic health of horses. These tests measure levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and key electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and calcium in the blood. They provide critical insights into a horse's respiratory status, hydration, and electrolyte imbalances, which are especially important in cases of colic, dehydration, or performance stress.
Serum Amyloid A (SAA)
SAA is a crucial biomarker for detecting inflammation and infection in horses. Unlike traditional indicators, SAA levels rise rapidly in response to health issues, providing early and precise insight into your horse's condition. Regular assessment of SAA helps identify problems sooner, monitor recovery, and tailor treatments effectively, ensuring your horse stays healthy and performs at its best. At our clinic, we deliver results in just minutes, enabling rapid decision-making to provide the best care for your equine companion.
Foal IgG SNAP Test – Ensuring Newborn Health
The Foal IgG SNAP Test is a quick and reliable tool to measure immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels in newborn foals. Adequate IgG levels are essential for a strong immune system, as foals rely on antibodies from colostrum to fight off infections. This test provides results within minutes, allowing us to ensure your foal has received the necessary passive immunity and take immediate action if supplementation is needed.
With quick turnaround times and accurate results, our experienced team ensures that veterinarians receive timely and precise data to make informed clinical decisions for optimal equine care.
