Abstract
Horses (11) were studied throughout a 12-wk training schedule. Serial blood samples were taken for hematological analysis and an extensive biochemical profile, including the following parameters: Na, K, Cl, HCO3, glucose, creatinine, urea, bilirubin, Fe, total protein, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, .gamma.-glutamyl transferase, calcium phosphate, and cholesterol. There were few significant changes detected. Routine hematological and biochemical screening has no useful role in assessing the fitness of horses under these conditions.
