| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to determine certain clinically important parameters of amniotic and allantoic fluid. Amniocentesis was performed on 10 normal mares in late gestation (323.8±10.2 d) and fluid was collected from both amniotic and allantoic cavities. Compared to amniotic fluid, allantoic fluid had significantly higher values of specific gravity, sorbitol dehydrogenase, total bilirubin, gamma glutamyltransferase, creatinine, phosphorus, total protein, and globulin. However, allantoic fluid had significantly lower values for sodium, chloride and alkaline phosphatase than amniotic fluid. |
