Stallions follow the conformation and phenotype of their breed, but within that standard, the presence of hormones such as testosterone may give stallions a thicker, cresty neck, as well as a somewhat more muscular physique as compared to female horses, known as mares, and castrated males, called geldings.
Hemoglobin is an important indicator of general health and used as a diagnostic tool for anemia. White blood cell count provides valuable information in the diagnosis or exclusion of an infection. In hematology, we include both hemoglobin testing and white blood cell count (WBC). Hemoglobin testing in combination with WBC count, performed at the point of care, will add information to the clinical evaluation of the primary care patient.
What it really measures. The A1c test examines hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells, to determine what percentage of it is glycated (in other words, what percentage of the hemoglobin has glucose bonded to it).he result of an A1c test is a percentage. The percent sign is often omitted on lab reports, apparently for the sake of holding clarity to a minimum, but just pretend it's there. If your result says 6.2, that means 6.2% (in other words, 6.2% of your hemoglobin is glycated).
