I was recently coming from the farm trip and the thing I enjoyed while working is blood sampling. Honestly, bleeding program is the most exciting activity for me; to see the blood oozing out from vein to the tube and you can't help the satisfied feeling because you have done it. However, I have only learn to do venipuncture to animals such as sheep, goat and cattle. I have not put a try on other animals (it'll be pleasure to practice) and here's some information about blood sampling technique in animals.
**********************************
Equipments
1. Needle
Needle size : The smaller the number, the bigger the lumen
Needle and needle sheath
2. Holder
Holder: To direct the blood from the needle to the vacutainer
3. Vacutainer tube
Containers containing coagulant (commonly used in veterinary medicine)
- Red top: Contain clot activator and gel for serum seperation
- Orange top: Contain thrombin (a rapid clot activator) for STAT serum testing
Containers containing anticoagulant (Commonly used in veterinary medicine)
- Green top: Contain sodium heparin or lithium heparin for plasma determination
- Purple top: Contain ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) strong anticoagulant used for full blood count and blood films.

Hi
I am a vet originally from Burma, currently living in U.S. By reading your blog, I can tell that you are inspired, dedicated and determined to be a vet, and I can see that you can make a good veterinarian. I am impressed by the photos and techniques in your posting about venepuncture. Keep up the good work and welcome to the world of deedicated vets. BTW, one of the professors from my vet med school is the wellknown expert in wildlife, specialised in wild asian bredding projects.
