Abstract:
In 24 healthy and 101 sheep with different lung diseases like catarrhalic pneumonic bronchopneumonia, lung abscesses, lung worm infections, Maedi and Sheep Pulmonary Adenomatosis (SPA) in arterial and venous samples blood gas analysis was performed. The alveolo-arterial-oxygen-difference was the most sensitive parameter to detect impaired ventilation, it was 11.40 +/- 6.39 mm Hg in healthy sheep. Global insufficiency occurred mainly in sheep with SPA and in mixed infections of SPA with Maedi.
