[The measurement of the placenta, umbilical cord and components of amniotic fluid in beagle dogs].
The body weight of newborns, the weight of placenta, the length of umbilical cord and the content of urobilinogen, gulcose, protein, pH, keton body in amniotic fluid were investigated with samples from 16 litters of beagles. The mean body weight of newborn, weight of placenta and length of umbilical cord were 258.0 +/- 44.6 g (85 samples), 48.5 +/- 8.5 g (85 samples) and 11.0 +/- 2.7 cm (52 samples), respectively without any sex difference. The significant correlation were recognized between the weight of placenta and the body weight of newborn, between the length of umbilical cord and the body weight of newborn and between the weight of placenta and the length of umbical cord (P less than 0.01).
