JSHAP Online Ahead of Print: Evaluating point-of-care testing for anemia diagnosis in pigs: Blood collection location disparities, repeatability, and validity
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).
