Reference intervals (RIs) for haematological values and serum total protein were calculated for pregnant Icelandic broodmares on pasture.
RBC red blood cell count, Hct haematocrit, Hgb haemoglobin, MCV mean corpuscular volume, MCH mean corpuscular haemoglobin, MCHC mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, RDW red cell distribution width, WBC white blood cell count, NEU neutrophil count, LYM lymphocyte count, MONO monocyte count, EOS eosinophil count, BASO basophil count, TP serum total protein, LRI90% 90% confidence interval for lower reference values, URI90% 90% confidence interval for upper reference values
