“…To the best of our knowledge, there have been no studies of the hematology or blood chemistry data in individuals of the Bucerotidae family. The hematocrit values for these hornbills lie within the ranges described for captive individuals of other avian orders, such as storks [Celdra´n et al, 1994], raptors [Ferrer et al, 1987;Herna´ndez et al, 1990], or flamingos [Peinado et al, 1992].…”

Hematocrit and blood chemistry values in three genera of captive hornbills

This study reports hematocrit and blood chemistry values for captive adult individuals belonging to three genera of hornbills (Bucerotidae), Aceros, Anthracoceros, and Ceratogymna, and evaluates genera and gender specific differences in these values. Ceratogymna differs significantly from the other two genera in the concentration of total proteins, cholesterol, triglycerides, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. Blood glucose concentrations in Aceros were lower than those in the other two genera. Plasma levels of enzymes differed between Aceros and Ceratogymna. With respect to gender differences, Aceros males had greater plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), calcium and phosphorus than did the females, and the Ceratogymna males had higher concentrations of triglycerides. Body mass was correlated with hematocrit, cholesterol, total proteins, and urea in Aceros and with calcium concentration in Ceratogymna. These results are the first data available on reference ranges of blood values in individuals of this family of birds and may therefore be very useful as a complementary diagnostic tool in the veterinary care of individuals of these species in captivity.

“…Briefly, Spanish Imperial Eagles appeared to exhibit low bilirubin and cholinesterase, similar amylase, and high aldolase values compared to those given for the few avian species in which those parameters have been measured [1,10,17,18,39,46,49].…”

Studies in endangered raptors have given reference values for some blood constituents of metabolic, veterinary, ecological and/or taxonomic interest. However, the variations in such values with physiological and external factors are poorly known. In the present study, the influence of sex, age, nutritional state and local environment was tested on up to 19 plasma variables in the Spanish Imperial Eagle (Aquila adalberti ). Our results showed that differences between sexes were not significant for any of the studied parameters. However, age had a significant effect on a number of metabolites, inorganic ions and enzyme activities. In particular, age-related differences in glucose, triglyceride, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase and creatinine values between chick and (sub)adult eagles were found. In addition, some metabolic responses of subadult birds to fasting and refeeding were quite similar to those found in other raptors. Finally, nestlings inhabiting different geographic areas also differed in relation to the values of several plasma parameters, those dissimilarities probably accounting for quantitative and qualitative differences in their respective diets.
