Blood – Blood volume

The blood volume of a horse equates to approx. 7-8% of its body weight; accordingly, the volume of blood in an adult horse of average weight (500 kg) is roughly 35-40 litres. Factors such as breed, gender, state of health and fitness can have a significant influence on these figures.
