Some Haematological Values of Farmed Fallow Deer (>Dama dama)

Haematological, hormonal and biochemical blood parameters in lamb: Effect of age and blood sampling time

“…On the other hand, Vengust et al (2002) obtained significantly lower values of MCV in young than in old farmed fallow deer, in contrast with our results, which showed lower MCV values in older than in younger lambs in all sampling times. The difference among our results and the previous reported ones could be due to the animal species.…”

“…Our results, (highest RBC, haemoglobin, hematocrit and CHbCM values in light lambs and in all blood sampling times considered) contrasted with other studies which showed highest values in some of these parameters in younger animals, such as Vengust et al (2002) in fallow deer for haemoglobin and CHbCM levels. According to our results and other studies, it seems that the differences due to age depend on the animal species, in agreement with the results found by Peinado et al (1999) which found that young deer and fallow deer showed higher hematocrit and haemoglobin levels than older animals, while in red deer the higher hematocrit and haemoglobin concentrations were found in older animals.…”

“…In addition, according to results obtained in several studies, Peinado et al (1999) in deer (Cervus axis), fallow deer (Cervus dama), red deer (Cervus elaphus hippelaphus), Vengust et al (2002) in fallow deer and Mohri et al (2007) in calves, these changes depend on animal age.…”

“…Thus, animal age can produce different responses to stressor agents, which have been reported by several authors in Dorcas gazelles, Spanish Ibex and some wild ruminants (Peinado et al, 1990(Peinado et al, , 1993(Peinado et al, , 1999; in fallow deer (Vengust et al, 2002), in goats Livestock Science 121 (2009) …”

Basic haematological and biochemical parameters of farmed red deer and fallow deer blood

“…Badania hematologiczne młodych samców danieli wykazały że średnia liczba WBC, była niższa niż u jeleni szlachetnych. Podobne badania prowadzone na danielach fermowych w Słowenii oraz Słowacji (14,37) wykazały, że średnia ilość WBC u samców była niższa w porównaniu do wartości uzyskanych w naszych badaniach oraz zbliżona do wartości, jakie wykazali Cross i in. (4) i Mohri i in.…”
