Dynamic surface tension measurements for animal blood analysis and correlations with related biochemical parameters

Abstract

The dynamic surface tension (DST) data and biochemical parameters (BCP) of animal blood have been obtained. A strong positive correlation was found for goats between σ1, σ2, σ3 (DST) and sodium levels (BCP), λz (DST)—with the levels of lipid and sodium (BCP); whereas a strong negative correlation was found for goats between σ3 (DST) and the level of total protein and chloride (BCP), λz (DST)—with the level of albumin (BCP). A strong positive correlation was found for horses between σ1, σ2, σ3 (DST) and lipid levels (BCP); λ0 (DST)—the level of chloride (BCP); λz (DST)—the level of albumin and chloride (BCP). A strong negative correlation was found for horses between σ1 (DST) and sodium level (BCP); σ2, σ3 (DST) and chloride level (BCP); λ0 (DST) and lipid level (BCP). Some moderate and weak correlations of different types were also found, but these have less importance for practical usage. The particular correlations between BCP and DST data of the same serum samples allowed DST data to be checked directly at the farm, and requiring the use of more expensive and time-consuming biochemical analysis only in cases of high necessity for a particular animal.
