title: BIOCHEMICAL, HEMATOLOGIC AND COAGULATION VALUES IN THE HEREFORD CALF.
abstract: Biochemical, hematologic and coagulation values have been determined in normal Hereford calves of both sexes, two to six months of age. These data generally agree with those of others and indicate a similarity in calves irrespective of their age, sex or breed. Prothrombin times are markedly longer in the calf than in man. This has resulted in alterations of anticoagulation regimens after implantation of mechanical circulatory support systems.
