Biochemical values were determined in venous blood of 30 and haematological values in 60 red deer of average body mass 53.9 kg, aged 5 months, kept on pasture in Central Mexico at the altitude of 2 450 m
Blood serum urea concentration (6.32 mmol/L) was lower in this study than that determined by W ilson and Pauli (1983) and Knox et al (1988)
Increased levels of blood serum urea may be associated with an excess of dietary protein, with deficiency of energy in the ration, with augmented catabolism of the animal or with prerenal, renal and postrenal azotemia (Kelly et al 1988; Seglar 1997, Meyer and Harvey 1998)
Summary
Biochemical values were determined in venous blood of 30 and haematological values in 60 red deer of average body mass 53.9 kg, aged 5 months, kept on pasture in Central Mexico at the altitude of 2 450 m. 4.8 red deer at the altitude above 2000 m are the first reference and can be used for health control and diagnosis of diseases. Great differences were described in values of plasma analytes, especially in concentrations of Na+ and K+ in red deer ( Wilson and Pauli 1983; K n o x et al 1988; Hargreaves and Matthews 1995). The objective of this study was to determine biochemical and haematological values in venous blood of farm red deer in central Mexico at the altitude of 2 450 m
