Abstract
The current study was conducted to determine hematology and blood
chemistry of Chukar Partridge kept in captive conditions in Punjab
Province of Pakistan. During this study, total 28(10 male, 18 female)
blood samples of healthy birds were collected from four different captive
facilities under the control of Punjab Wildlife and Parks Department,
Government of Punjab, Pakistan. Hematological parameters including
Total Red Blood Cell Count, Total White Blood Cell Count, Packed Cell
Volume, Hemoglobin, Mean Corpuscular Volume, Mean Corpuscular
Hemoglobin, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration, Platelets,
Lymphocytes, Monocytes and Neutrophils were determined. The overall
red blood cells count, hemoglobin and hematocrit values were
2.00±0.054×106
/µL, 11.40±0.350g/dL and 31.30±0.830%, respectively.
White blood cells count 220.10±0.857×103
/µL and platelets values
5.56±1.431×103
/µL were recorded. The sex wise hematological
parameter was statistically non-significant (p>0.05) except MPV and PLCP values which were significantly different (p<0.05). The plasma
chemical values including the Urea, Alanine aminotransferase, Aspartate
aminotransferase, Creatinine, Total Protein and Albumin were
determined. The overall biochemical blood values of Urea
282.06±37.18mg/dL, ALT 13.61±2.597 µL, AST 48.23±28.157 µL,
Creatinine 61.04±12.658 mg/dL, Total protein 9.29±1.228 mg/dL and
Albumin 2.44±0.108 mg/dL and were recorded. All these parameters
between male and female were non-significant (p>0.05). As a pioneer
work, these hematological and blood chemistry values may serve as
reference range in male and female Chukar Partridge in captivity
