BUITRAGO M, Jhonny A et al. Glycemia levels in Colombian creole foals during their first hours of life. Ces. Med. Vet. Zootec. [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.3, pp.48-57. ISSN 1900-9607.

The blood glucose level is an important parameter for clinical dedicated to equine neonatology, especially in neonatal care units, where is critical as a prognostic indicator parameter, so you need to have parameters precise reference to assist the decision making. In the race Criollo Colombiano we have not found reference values, so in clinical practice are used values for different races and backgrounds, and this is the first report in this race in Colombia. The study was conducted in the municipality of Bolivar City; where blood glucose levels were assessed in peripheral blood sample using a portable glucometer. They were evaluated 29 infants children foals stabled mares, measurements were made before the first lactation (T0) and three measurements at intervals of three hours. (T3, T6 and T9). Confidence intervals for the population mean were determined, and a comparison was made between the sexes, a regression equation for predicting glucose was also determined by the measurement time. T0 was determined that an average of 81.76 ± 9.25 mg / dL, was presented to the T3 was 88.97 ± 11.73 mg / dL, for the T6 112.31 ± 16.52 mg / dL and T9 118.52 ± 13.59 was mg / dL. Polynomial regression equation was Glucose = 80.27 + 1.617 tiempo2-0,127tiempo3 (R2 = 0.58). No statistically significant difference (p> 0.05) was found between the sexes.
