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.
