Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Science
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Establishing reference ranges for blood constituents is crucial for animal health monitoring.
  • Limited biochemical data exists for farmed red deer (Cervus elaphus).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the normal ranges of 30 whole blood and plasma constituents in clinically healthy farmed red deer hinds.
  • To provide a basis for diagnostic clinical chemistry in red deer.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 30 whole blood and plasma constituents (enzymes, substrates, electrolytes, vitamins).
  • Samples collected from 91 clinically healthy farmed red deer hinds (1-15 years old).
  • Statistical analysis including calculation of means, standard errors, and tolerance intervals.

Main Results:

  • Quantification of 30 key blood and plasma analytes in a cohort of farmed red deer.
  • Statistical data generated for diagnostic purposes.
  • Comparison of results with existing literature on deer and livestock biochemistry.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides vital reference intervals for red deer clinical chemistry.
  • This data supports improved health management and disease diagnosis in farmed red deer.
  • Findings contribute to comparative biochemistry across cervid and livestock species.
