Abstract

This study aimed to analyze and statistically compare the hematocrit values obtained from the processing of whole blood samples in EDTA from 20 dogs and 17 horses using the microhematocrit methodology and the GENVET 3-part VH20 Hematological Analyzer, in order to verify the accuracy of automated analysis. The automated technique demonstrated statistically similar results, with an average bias of 1.47% between the methodologies in the canine species and 1.48% in the equine species. It was concluded that automated analysis produces results with minimal variability, little affecting the laboratory interpretation of the hematocrit index in canine and equine patients.
