Utilization of plasma samples from donor horses from a commercial plasma manufacturer1
Based on the reaction of the neonatal foal to a commercial plasma product, the decision was made to test additional aliquots of samples from commercial plasma donor horses. Plasma samples were provided from 10 horses among the donor herd. Two 10 mL plasma samples from each donor horse were collected and shipped to Kansas State University. These samples were aliquoted into 2 mL vials and stored in a -80oC freezer. No information on the plasma donors was provided other than that they were routine donor horses used for commercial biologic product collection.
