| Abstract: | Here, to determine the effects of transport stress on blood parameters in dogs, we
investigated the changes in hematologic and serum chemical parameters in healthy beagle
dogs transported from Beijing, China, to Osaka, Japan, to obtain the background data. Only
the activity of serum alkaline phosphatase increased clearly upon arrival, a change
attributed to transport stress, but the activity gradually reduced afterward. No marked
changes in levels of other blood parameters were noted. Our findings here suggest that
alkaline phosphatase is a useful tool for studying transport stress. |
