[Metabolic indicators in large-scale breeding of goats during various seasons].

Thirty-five biochemical parameters were investigated in 144 clinically healthy goats throughout the seasons of the year from March 1984 to April 1986. The average values and standard deviations of the investigated parameters of metabolic profile which are presented in this paper were obtained from examinations performed throughout the whole period of investigation. The average values of biochemical parameters are presented in Tabs.

[Changes in the acid-base equilibrium in cattle in relation to the time intervals between sampling and study under field conditions].

The parameters of acid-base balance were investigated in relation to the time difference between the blood sampling and the examination and ambient temperature in the field conditions. The transfer of the samples from field conditions to a laboratory was imitated by putting the case with the samples into a thermostat at the temperature of 20 degrees C and 37 degrees C. In the first trial, at the temperature of 20 degrees C, statistically significant changes in pH values were recorded in seven hours.
