Establishment of Reference Range and Comparative Analysis of Blood Physiological and Biochemical Parameters of Captive Chinese Monals during the Non-Breeding Period
[Objective]To provide a scientific basis for health evaluation,disease diagnosis and treat-ment,the aim of this study was to establish a reference range of blood physiological and biochemical pa-rameters of captive Chinese monals(Lophophorus lhuysii)from different genders and ages during the non-breeding period.[Method]The blood samples were collected from 15 healthy adult Chinese mon-als,12 blood physiological parameters and 13 blood biochemical parameters were examined by the veteri-nary automatic blood cell analyzer and the veterinary biochemical analyzer.Simultaneously,the individu-als of different gender and ages groups were compared and analyzed by non-paired t-test,and then the reference range was established according to the normal distribution interval.At last,the corresponding parameters of related pheasants and an individual with weak physical condition were compared for the ref-erence range validation.[Result]There was a significant difference in α-hydroxybutyrate dehydroge-nase(P<0.05)between males and females,while red blood cell count,hematocrit,serum magnesium and γ-glutamyl transferase were significantly different between young and old(P<0.05).No significant difference was observed in other parameters(P>0.05)in captive Chinese monals during the non-breeding period.Besides,a majority of the reference parameters showed high similarity between the Chi-nese monal and the related pheasant species.Among the 25 parameters,14 were found to deviate from the reference range in a Chinese monal with weak physical condition.[Conclusion]Taken together,the results showed that the reference range of blood physiological and biochemical parameters of captive Chi-nese monals during the non-breeding period was reliable,which could be used as the basis for health evaluation,disease diagnosis and treatment.
