Summary The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of modifying commercial reagents for the laboratory evaluation of several haemostatic parameters in normal, non‐pregnant mares. The routine coagulation screening assays, namely, the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and the one‐stage prothrombin time (PT), and the specific coagulation assays for the determination of the biological activity of Factors VII, VIII:C and IX, are discussed.
