Normally a horse will have a PVC of about 40% - age or breed variations can change this slightly. PVC less than 30% is considered anemic. If the PVC drops below 15% a blood transfusion may be necessary.
Up to 30 percent of the total of red blood cells will be sequestered in the spleen of a resting horse.
Therefore, initial PCV evaluations on resting horses may be deceiving, because following a period of exercise or excitement, the PCV will be elevated to its normal range.

What is the difference between packed cell volume and red cell count?
Red blood cell count (RBC-count) is the number of erythrocytes in one liter of blood.Packed cell volume (PCV) is the percentage of erythrocytes in one liter of blood. Thus, PCV is a measure of the totalvolume of red blood cells in a sample, while RBC-count is the number of red blood cells in a sample, MCV- mean corpuscular volume is the mean volume of erythrocytes in a sample, thus:PCV = RBC-count x MCV
