title: Haematological and plasma biochemical values for healthy Yucatan micropigs.
abstract: Blood samples (n = 135) were collected from 36 male and 35 female 20 +/- 4-week-old Yucatan micropigs and were analysed for 19 haematological and 18 plasma biochemical parameters at weeks 20, 24, 33, 46, 59, 71 and 80. For each parameter, the total number of analyses per sex, mean values, standard deviation, lowest and highest values, and 95% confidence intervals are presented as reference values for this breed. Age- and sex-related differences in these parameters are also discussed.
