Nineteen haematological parameters for the Malayan sun bear which include PCV RBC count differential counts for leucocytes plasma protein PT and APTT were evaluated. Twenty-six biochemical parameters were analysed namely sodium potassium chloride inorganic phosphate blood urea nitrogen creatinine glucose cholesterol total bilirubin total protein alanine transferase alkaline phosphatase aspartate aminotransferase craetine kinase globulin albumin globulin-albumin ratio amylase lactate dehydrogenase lipase lactate uric acid triglyceride and gammaglutamyl transferase. Comparing males and females males showed a significantly higher value for haemaglobin. Leucocytes and segmented neutrophils were significantly higher in sub-adults. Current values showed low haemaglobin and leucocytes compared to previous data. Preliminary data on anticoagulation factors namely PT and APIT were recorded. Biochemistry showed ALT GGT and CK were significantly higher in males. The sub-adult group showed higher values of ALT GGT CK LDH and albumin. Compared to previous reports current data showed lower values of calcium inorganic phosphate BUN and AST. Additional preliminary data on GGT amylase CK total triglyceride lipase and lactate were recorded.

Abstract

Nineteen haematological parameters for the Malayan sun bear which include PCV RBC count differential counts for leucocytes plasma protein PT and APTT were evaluated. Twenty-six biochemical parameters were analysed namely sodium potassium chloride inorganic phosphate blood urea nitrogen creatinine glucose cholesterol total bilirubin total protein alanine transferase alkaline phosphatase aspartate aminotransferase craetine kinase globulin albumin globulin-albumin ratio amylase lactate dehydrogenase lipase lactate uric acid triglyceride and gammaglutamyl transferase. Comparing males and females males showed a significantly higher value for haemaglobin. Leucocytes and segmented neutrophils were significantly higher in sub-adults. Current values showed low haemaglobin and leucocytes compared to previous data. Preliminary data on anticoagulation factors namely PT and APIT were recorded. Biochemistry showed ALT GGT and CK were significantly higher in males. The sub-adult group showed higher values of ALT GGT CK LDH and albumin. Compared to previous reports current data showed lower values of calcium inorganic phosphate BUN and AST. Additional preliminary data on GGT amylase CK total triglyceride lipase and lactate were recorded.
