Indications/Applications. Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) laboratory test, as part of a standard complete blood count (CBC), is used along with other RBC indices (MCH and MCHC) to help classify the cause of anemia based on red cell morphology.See also the Interpretation section above.CV is elevated or decreased in accordance with average red cell size; ie, low MCV indicates microcytic (small average RBC size), normal MCV indicates normocytic (normal average RBC size), and high MCV indicates macrocytic (large average RBC size). The reference range for MCV is 80-96 fL/red cell in adult.
* If your fish have healthy appetites, the recommended amount of food at 69Â°F to 85Â°F is 2.5 percent to 3 percent of your Koi's body weight per day. This amount should be consumed within 2 to 4 feeding periods daily. * Koi food unconsumed within 5 minutes of feeding is recommended to be netted out of the pond.
The more you feed a Koi, the faster it will grow. Koi need high protein food to maximize their growth. Feeding several times a day is a good idea to make your Koi grow faster (just don't overtax your filter system). You'll want to feed your Koi a high quality, high protein food. Just be careful not to over-feed your Koi. You can make your fishes fat and it will deform their body conformation. In ideal conditions, it usually takes a couple years for them to get about 12 inches in length. If you have a small pond in live in a cold climate, it will take longer. If you have a large pond, feed a lot and you live in a warm climate, then it could take less time.
