Abstract
One of the most frequently measured properties of solutions in chemistry and biology is pH. The pH of complex biological solutions, such as sweat, urine and blood have been measured for humans and other animals. This article describes the results obtained when the pH for horse sweat was measured. Comparisons with the studies on humans are also noted. The pH of perspiration produced by mares and gelding was measured under controlled conditions and found to be between 6.7 to 10.
