This is a quesiton made for Doctors but i think i can add a point here, there is a big gab between man and animals, for you to take the blood of animal and feed animal is like asking the dog in your community to send a mail from your mail box to a freind. the brain of animals can never be equated with man. the thought of animals can never balance with man too.Never in life should you think of using animal blood to man. Man is made to be so high than any other thng in the world. and talkign about the blood is the highest liquid that deserve respect than any other liquid on planet earth for now. But tomorrow we can reach a point we will see a better liquid than Blood. Please have respect and respect the liquid that is red in colour called BLOOD. Thanks and God Bless US

Blood transfusion is a pretty risky affair, especially due to the fact that there are lot of antigenic differences between even two human beings. If doctors are careless enough to transfuse the wrong blood, the receptor's immune system gets activated against the antigenic epitope of the donor's blood cells, and they carry out the processes of recognition, selection and finally, the blood cells of the donor get totaly phagocytosed by the receoptor immune system. The blood grouping system is an example of making clear the distinction between two indvidual's antigenic characeristics. Imagine such morbid results of wrong intraspecific blood transfusion, what would be if horses are made to donate...although horse serum is used in immunological experiments, and that is called ARTIFICIAL PASSIVE IMMUNITY, that is passed on artificially, but it hasnt yet been used in humans...

Without knowing the details of animal blood cells, the animal into human wouldn't work because of the immune response. The human immune system would reject the animal blood cells due to the foreign proteins of the animal cells. The animal cell would be treated as an invading organism.
It's the same reason humans can only share the same blood types; to avoid the immune recognition of foreign antigens.

Transfusion can be thought of as transplantation, in this case the tissue is liquid. Allographic transplants/transfusion are, to date, only successful when species are not crossed (but they DO try, remember the baboon heart in the child?). The above answers are correct, the proteins/antigens/immune system does not tolerate this well, at all.

animal blood has completely different receptors on its cells, so it won't work. your body will totally reject it and you would die.

Obviously, animals do not have the same genetic make up as humans. A transfusion by any animal to any human being would be fatal.
