Sampling procedures. In total, 240 dairy cows were enrolled. Capillary blood was obtained from the external vulva by using 1of 3 lancet types. The glucose concentrations in the capillary blood drop as well as in a coccygeal blood sample were analyzed each, by using 3 different hand-held devices. Plasma obtained from the coccygeal blood sample was analyzed for glucose in the laboratory of the University using a wet chemistry analyzer and was regarded as “reference” in the study
