Abstract
Physiological values reflect the health condition and responses of individuals to handling in captivity. The aim of this study was to establish hematological and serum biochemistry parameters of clinically healthy animals of the Alouatta guariba clamitans subspecies. We collected blood samples from adult males and females kept at the Center for Biological Research of Indaial after chemical containment with 3.9mg/kg of tiletamine hydrochloride and zolazepam. Significant differences between males and females were found in the levels of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, lymphocytes, neutrophils, platelets, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT). Our results suggest the existence of sexual dimorphism in some physiological parameters of Aguariba clamitans. The parameters reported herein can be used as reference values for other populations kept under similar conditions.
