Abstract

Concentration of total protein, bilirubin, sodium and potassium in blood sera, and thymol turbidity of race horses, 78 males and 57 females aging from 2 to 5 years, were estimated. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Serum of race horses was low in protein concentrations as mean values of $5.48{pm}0.77$ g/100ml. 2. Serum bilirubin was in normal range as mean values of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin were $1.05{pm}0.57$, $0.12{pm}0.05$ and $0.93{pm}0.58$ mg/100ml, respectively. 3. Mean value of serum thymol turbidity was $1.41{pm}0.72$ S-H unit. 4. Mean values of serum sodium and potassium of race horses from Australia were $143{pm}8.7$ and $3.85{pm}0.53$ mEq/liter, respectively, and mean values of serum sodium and patassium of race horses from Japan were $142{pm}9.4$ and $3.58{pm}0.60$ mEq/liter, respectively.
