The objective of this study was to investigate arterial and venous blood gas, electrolytes, biochemical, andhematological values in healthy Korean native calves (KNC). The healthy 62 KNC within 3 weeks-old were examined. The arterial blood was collected from caudal auricular artery and the venous blood from jugular vein. The blood sampleswere analyzed immediately using a portable blood gas analyzer. The pH, pO2, pCO2, cHCO3?, BE, cSO2, Na+, Ca2+,Cl?, anion gap potassium (AgapK), Hct, cHgb, glucose, lactate and creatinine were determined. The normal valuesfor blood gas, electrolytes, biochemical, and hematological variables determined in this study agree with other publishedvalues for normal calves. The mean concentration of glucose and lactate within 3 weeks old of KNC is higher thanthose of adult cattle. The blood values according to weeks of age within 3 weeks-old of arterial and venous bloodvariables were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Glucose (r = 0.927) had the strongest correlations between arterialand venous values. The correlation between the values of the arterial and the venous blood was strong in creatinine(r = 0.925), lactate (r = 0.815), Ca2+ (r = 0.806), Hct (r = 0.799), Na+ (r = 0.790), cHgb (r = 0.786), base excess (r =0.749), pH (r = 0.710), HCO3? (r = 0.710), and cTCO2 (0.663). Analysis of blood samples in a field condition, usinghand-held analyzer is rapid and useful in bovine practice.
