“…Part (0.5 ml) of the blood sample from juvenile birds was collected in the anticoagulent ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA 1.5 mg/ ml of blood) for full haematological analysis at NARC. These results were used to determine normal reference ranges for these species (Howlett et al, 1998).…”

“…handicapped by the paucity of biomedical data on these birds , and blood chemistry studies have been instigated at the National Avian Research Center (NARC) (D'Aloia, 1996;D'Aloia et al, 1996a, b;Bailey et al, 1997Bailey et al, , 1998. Blood biochemical analysis is an important supplement to history and clinical examination in determining the health status of animals, and previous investigations in juvenile psittacines (Clubb et al, 1990;Joyner and Duarte, 1994), storks (Montesinos et al, 1997) and bustards (D'Aloia, 1996) have described age-related changes in values.…”

Plasma chemistry parameters were measured in adult (Ͼ1.5 yr) and juvenile (4-8 and 9-16 wk) captive houbara bustards (Chlamydotis undulata macqueenii) and from adult (Ͼ1.5 yr) and juvenile (4-8, 9-16, 17-24, 25-32, 33-40 and 41-52 wk) captive kori bustards (Ardeotis kori) to study age-related changes. A comparison of the values obtained was made between adult and juvenile bustards of both species and from the literature with other bustard species. Significant differences between adult and juvenile bustards of both species were found for glucose, total protein, alkaline phosphatase (ALKP), aspartate amino transferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase, and calcium. Some parameters, such as calcium, showed comparable age-related changes in both species. In contrast, other parameters showed clear differences in the type (ALT, AST) or magnitude (ALKP) of age-related change between the species, demonstrating the importance of determining normal values for individual species. The results obtained from this study provide blood chemistry values for these species and demonstrate age-related differences between adult and juvenile birds.

“…In addition, wild birds tends to hide clinical signs of disease; therefore, observations by the keeper should be complemented by periodic blood analyses if sick or injured birds are to be diagnosed and treated in the early stages of disease [ 14 17 ]. While interpreting data pertaining to blood analyses for animals, age must be considered because of significant differences between young and adult individuals [ 2 9 18 ]. Previous studies have reported hematological and biochemical parameters for some species of storks [ 19 22 26 ]; however, to the best of our knowledge, baseline and age-related changes in these parameters for young and adult C. boyciana have not been published to date.…”

This study was conducted to establish accurate baseline values of clinical laboratory data with regard to age-related changes in the Oriental white stork (Ciconia boyciana). In addition, the availability of an automated hematological cell counter was evaluated. A total of 94 clinically normal storks, including 64 young storks (<1 year old; 30 male and 34 female) and 30 adults (> 1 year old; 17 male and 13 female) were included. Hematological assays were performed using manual and automated cell counters and serum biochemistry profiles were examined using an automated analyzer. There were no significant differences in any parameters between male and female storks, while 16 parameters were significantly different between young and adult storks. Of these 16 parameters, total protein, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, triglyceride, total bilirubin, potassium, white blood cell count, packed cell volume, mean cell volume and hemoglobin levels were higher in adult storks than in young storks, while the latter showed higher glucose, uric acid and alkaline phosphatase levels, as well as a higher sodium/potassium ratio. The results presented herein will aid researchers who work for the conservation and rehabilitation of this endangered species.

“…Estudos comprovaram que amostras colhidas em diferentes momentos do dia apresentaram valores diferentes no leucograma (HOWLETT et al, 1998), assim os parâmetros sanguíneos em aves e a interpretação dos resultados é difícil principalmente em decorrência da falta de parâmetros de referência. Também são necessárias melhoria das técnicas, pois a contagem a manual das células sanguíneas não é muito exata e precisa como os métodos automáticos.…”
