BLOOD CHEMISTRY, PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS, AND HEMATOLOGIC VALUES OF CAPTIVE SPANISH IMPERIAL EAGLES (AQUILA ADALBERTI)

Abstract

Hemograms and plasma chemistry values are presented for six male and six female, adult, clinically normal, captive Spanish imperial eagles (Aquila adalberti). No value was substantially different from that which might be predicted on the basis of work in other related species. This data should prove useful for the interpretation of laboratory findings in future clinical cases of this endangered species of eagle.
