Abstract
Some serum constituents of shot fallow deer (n = 52) in Slovenia have been studied and the means of various biochemical parameters have been determined for sex and age groups and the place where blood has been taken. The samples were taken from two hunting enclosures in Upper Carniola (Gorenjska) and Lower Carniola (Dolenjska) during the 2000/01 winter season. Recorded mean values were: aspartate aminotransferase (145.6 ± 73,5 U/L), alanine aminotransferase (49.4 ± 13.5 U/L), lactate dehydrogenase (1155 ± 535 U/L), gamma glutamyltransferase (38.7 ± 19.9 U/L), urea (6.23 ± 2.39 mmol/L), creatinine (150.9 ± 36.5 μmol/L), total proteins (60.9 ± 7.7 g/L), albumin (38.3 ± 8.6 g/L) and glucose (5.1 ± 3.9 mmol/L). Only minor significant differences in biochemical parameters were found between groups.
