Haematological reference values for farmed red deer (Cervus elaphus) in New Zealand

Haematological reference values for farmed red deer (Cervus elaphus) in New Zealand An automatic haematology analyser (Technicon H6000/C) providing red cell, white cell and platelet parameters was calibrated for the blood of red deer Cervus elaphus. Haematology reference values for these parameters, plasma viscosity and plasma fibrinogen are presented for defined groups of female weaner red deer (n = 123), adult red deer hinds (n = 86) and weaner male red deer (n = 37), the latter being bled using physical restraint and also using xylazine sedation. Age, sex, sedation and season-related differences were found. Reference values are also presented for serum haptoglobin in adult hinds and levels were similar to those seen in cattle. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Comparative Clinical Pathology Springer Journals

Abstract

An automatic haematology analyser (Technicon H6000/C) providing red cell, white cell and platelet parameters was calibrated for the blood of red deer Cervus elaphus. Haematology reference values for these parameters, plasma viscosity and plasma fibrinogen are presented for defined groups of female weaner red deer (n = 123), adult red deer hinds (n = 86) and weaner male red deer (n = 37), the latter being bled using physical restraint and also using xylazine sedation. Age, sex, sedation and season-related differences were found. Reference values are also presented for serum haptoglobin in adult hinds and levels were similar to those seen in cattle.
