Accurate cow-side blood β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) detection meters are valuable tools for rapid diagnosis
of hyperketonemia. The main objective of this study was to compare the blood BHB measured in whole
blood by the BHBCheck meter (PortaCheck, Moorestown, NJ) to a previously validated meter, Precision
Xtra meter (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL) and a colorimetric laboratory assay.
