The results of the study indicated that the false gharial has a smaller erythrocyte dimension compared to other crocodilian species. Blood samples were collected from the lateral caudal vein and divided into a vacutainer without anticoagulant for biochemical analysis, and a lithium heparin vacutainer (containing sodium heparin) for hematological studies. The present study investigated the normal blood profile of 10 healthy false gharials, from two different zoos, and wildlife conservation centers located in three different states of Peninsular Malaysia. Notwithstanding, a gap exists in the literature about the clinical pathology of the false gharial, due to the lack of normal reference values for hematological and serum biochemical analysis.
However, it requires a widely employed knowledge of veterinary clinical pathology, as a diagnostic tool in diagnosing the various disease conditions of wildlife species. Health status is a very important aspect of species conservation. The involvement of veterinary medicine in wildlife research has played an important role in understanding the health status of various wildlife species. We briefly discussed the differences with other species and the influence of factors such as field and laboratory methodologies, environmental conditions, nutritional status, and size class. mindorensis exhibited similarities with and variations from other crocodile species. Uric acid levels were higher (P = 0.035) in male sub-adults because of their higher food intake resulting from dominance and aggression during feeding times.
The uric acid concentrations were significantly different between male and female C. We defined reference ranges through the central 95% of the concentration values obtained.
We collected blood samples from the post-occipital venous sinus of six male and seven female captive-bred crocodile sub-adults at the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center and quantified the serum biochemical values for cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, glucose, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, total protein, and globulin. In the current study, we determined the reference ranges for the serum biochemistry of male and female captive-bred C. The Philippine crocodiles Crocodylus mindorensis Schmidt, 1935 are a critically endangered species that necessitate minimally invasive diagnostic tools for their physiological state and health assessment.
