title: Biochemistry reference values for Quebec lactating dairy cows, nursing sows, growing pigs and calves.
abstract: Reference values for lactating dairy cows, nursing sows, growing calves and pigs were established on jugular cannulated animals. On each day of sampling, 13 samples were taken every hour from dairy cattle, growing calves and pigs and 5 samples were taken every 2 h from nursing sows to minimize day and analysis bias. Results show that aging influences more biochemical factors in pigs than in calves, and in nursing sows variations observed between day 5 and 15 after farrowing are of greater amplitude than between day 15 and 25.
