Gupta, R. Patra, M. Saini, D. Swarup] Haematological and serum biochemical values of clinical significance that could serve as reference data for deer kept in captivity were measured for chital (Axis axis) and barking deer (Muntiacus muntjak). The venous blood from four each of chital and barking deer (n = 8) reared in semi-captivity was collected after proper restraint of the animals. The mean blood haemoglobin, packed cell volume, total erythrocyte count and total leukocyte count of all the eight deer of the two species were 15.90 ± 0.44,g/dl, 51.44 ± 0.60%, 20.83 ± 0.57 × 106μl and 2.37 ± 0.20 × 103μl. Serum total protein, albumin, bilirubin, cholesterol and blood urea nitrogen irrespective of species were 6.83 ± 0.19,g/dl, 3.90 ± 0.11,g/dl, 0.33 ± 0.08,mg/dl, 106.81 ± 3.59,mg/dl and 24.79 ± 2.11,mg/dl, respectively. Serum enzyme activities indicative of liver function such as alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were 30.38 ± 4.67,units/ml and 42.88 ± 5.97,units/ml, respectively. The serum calcium and phosphorus levels of all the eight deer were 10.27 ± 0.36,mg/dl and 8.31 ± 0.68,mg/dl, respectively. This is the first report on baseline values in barking deer. The distribution of haematological and serum biochemical values was fairly normal, suggesting that the mean values could be representative of normal values for two different deer species.
