Acid-base parameters in venous blood of pregnant and non-pregnant Dutch Friesian and Dutch Red and White cows.
Acid-base values in venous blood of pregnant and non-pregnant cows belonging to the Friesian (FH) and the red-and-white (MRIJ) breeds were compared. Differences between the breeds were not found. Pregnancy seemed to cause a slight decrease in the base excess value and in the standard bicarbonate concentration.
