Serum biochemical values in fallow deer (Dama dama L.) from different habitats in Croatia
Serum biochemical values were determined in blood samples collected from forty eight shot fallow deer from islands Brijuni, and forty five sedated fallow deer (Dama dama L.) from hunting grounds in continental part of Croatia. The parameters were compared with regard to age, sex and different habitat. Statistically significant differences were found for serum total protein concentration, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activity between young and adult islands deer, as well as for total protein, triacylglyceride, cholesterol concentration and alkaline phosphatase activity between young and adult continental deer. In young animals, island males had higher albumin concentrations while continental males had higher alkaline phosphatase values than females. In adult animals, island males had higher blood urea nitrogen concentration, while continental males had higher albumin and cholesterol concentrations, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and creatine kinase activities. In this group, males exhibited lower bilirubin and triacylglyceride concentrations than females. Our results indicate that besides age, sex and sampling method, nutritional and environmental factors should be considered when evaluating serum biochemical parameters of fallow deer.
