Hematological and Plasma Biochemical Values in Captive Eld’s-Brow Antlered Deer (Cervus eldi thamin) in Thailand

Abstract

Blood samples were collected from 20 sedated captive Eld’s-Brow Antlered deer (Cervus eldi thamin), aged over 1.5 years, to define their mean hematological values (packed cell volume and hemoglobin) and mean plasma biochemical parameters. Male deer had a significantly higher plasma glucose level and aspartate aminotransferase activity than female deer.
