- Abstract
The aim of this research was to analyze retrospectively the diagnostic procedures performed in the veterinary clinical laboratory from Universidad de la Amazonia in order to determine the differences between the species that are subject to diagnosis and establish the type of samples more processed in addition to finding the species with a higher percentage of clinical analysis. Since the opening of the laboratory to the public in the first half of 2004 any study or retrospective analysis on the samples processed for diagnostic purposes in this laboratory has been performed. A retrospective analysis of both physical records and digital analyses of samples in the period of January 2010 to December 2014 was carried out. A total of 2,720 tests in different species including wildlife, canine, feline, equine, bovine and swine were analyzed. The tests carried out were complete blood cells count 166.2±132.39, blood chemistry 27.2±60.82, stool test 255.4±141.72, uroanalysis 13.2±11.43, hemoparasites 34.6±41.30, and skin scraping 47.4±46.42. Also, samples in a higher proportion by species were analyzed predominating canine species followed by wildlife, bovine, equine, swine, and feline respectively. In conclusion the most requested tests in the veterinary clinical laboratory at Universidad de la Amazonia are the stool and the blood cells count tests, being canines and wildlife species the most in demand. Likewise, the species that made greater use of the laboratory were canine and wildlife species.
