Evaluating point-of-care testing for anemia diagnosis in pigs: Blood collection location disparities, repeatability, and validity
Katlyn A. McClellan, Crystal L. Levesque, Eric M. Weaver
Abstract
The HemoCue 201 was used to compare hemoglobin (HbC) across blood sampling sites. Tail docking samples had lower HbC than both ear and mammary vein samples (P = .001). Both point-of-care and laboratory HbC testing methods showed agreement, with biases of 0.2 g/dL (ear) and -0.45 g/dL (jugular).
