Comparison of serum biochemical parameters between red (Cervus elaphus) and fallow deer (Dama dama L.)in Moslavina Region of Croatia

Serum biochemical parameters in blood samples of sedated forty-five fallow deer (Dama dama L.), and forty-two red deer (Cervus elaphus) from various hunting grounds in Moslavina region of Croatia were determined. The parameters were compared regarding the species, age and sex. The comparison of results in adult red and fallow deer revealed the higher body mass, TP, triacylglyceride, creatinine, urea and glucose concentration in red deer, and higher AST, ALT activity and cholesterol concentration in fallow deer. The comparison of the same biochemical parameters in young animals showed the higher body mass, triacylglyceride, creatinine and glucose concentration in red deer, whereas young fallow deer had higher albumin, cholesterol and urea concentration, as well as AST and ALT activity. The observed differences were probably due to the different body weight and nutritional status of animals, but the sedative used and an excitement prior the sedation might have also been involved. The multi-factorial analysis and the analysis of variance confirmed that the physiological differences of biochemical parameters between two deer species had existed.
