Any form of immune activation affects the consumption of Ferum in the body and, as usual, leads to a decrease of the Ferum content in the blood plasma. The aim of our research was to determine the level of Ferum in the blood of puppies under the conditions of introduction the biological stimulus. A polyvalent vaccine (DHPPi, Nobivac) was used as a biological stimulus. The studies have established that Ferum content in the blood of puppies before influence of the biological stimulus was within 92.35 ± 5.7 mmol / dm3. Descriptive statistics of the Ferum content in the blood of puppies four weeks after exposure of biological stimulus indicates that in 95% of puppies the metal content in the blood is in the range of 13.5-19.8 mmol / dm3, and in 68% of animals its content does not differ by more than by 2.8 mmol / dm3. The standard error of the mean (SE = 1.2) indicates a significant decrease in the variability (several times) of the metal content in the population at the end of the study period.
