一只雄性长颈鹿血液生理生化指标的测定

Preliminary determination of blood physiological and biochemical indexes of giraffe

为评价长颈鹿在动物园管理条件下的健康状况,对杭州动物园一只雄性南非长颈鹿天天的血液生理生化指标进行了测定。结果表明:5项生理指标(包括红细胞、白细胞、血红蛋白、血细胞比容、平均血红蛋白含量)与现有报道相符,8项生化指标(包括钙、镁、总蛋白、白蛋白、球蛋白、钠、钾、氯)与圈养长颈鹿、国际物种信息系统(ISIS)一致。说明天天的健康状况良好,需要改善的是饲料中增加含磷物质的摄入。

In order to assess the health status of giraffe raised in a zoo, the blood physiological and biochemical index of Tiantian, a male giraffe in Hangzhou Zoo from South Africa were measured. The results showed that the physiological index(RBC, WBC, HGB, HCT and MCH) were consistent with the existing records, biochemical index of Ca, Mg, TP, ALB,GLOB,Na, K and Cl were consistent with index of captive giraffes and ISIS, which indicated that the giraffe Tiantian was in good condition, and the intake of phosphorus in feed should be monitored.
