    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Comparative Physiology
    • Clinical Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Limited established clinical biochemical reference ranges exist for llamas.
    • Existing data for llama biochemistry may not accurately reflect current populations or standards.
    • Comparative data with other domesticated ruminants is often lacking.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine reference clinical biochemical values for healthy adult llamas.
    • To compare these values with previously reported data for llamas and other ruminants.
    • To identify potential sex-based differences in clinical biochemical parameters in llamas.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected serum samples from 64 clinically healthy adult llamas (26 males, 38 females).
    • Performed fifteen distinct clinical biochemical measurements on each serum sample.

  • Analyzed data for significant differences between sexes and compared to existing literature.

    • Main Results:

    • Established reference values for fifteen clinical biochemical tests in adult llamas.
    • Observed significant deviations from previously reported llama values and ruminant reference ranges.
    • Identified statistically significant differences in several biochemical parameters between male and female llamas.

    Conclusions:

    • The clinical biochemical values presented serve as a vital reference for adult llamas.
    • These findings highlight the need for llama-specific reference ranges in veterinary diagnostics.
    • Sex-specific considerations are important for accurate interpretation of llama biochemical profiles.
