HEMATOLOGICAL AND BLOOD CHEMISTRY FINDINGS IN AMAZONA AMAZONICA AND AMAZONA OCHROCEPHALA CAPTIVE IN THE FOREST RESERVE TORRE CUATRO. Bol. Cient. Mus. Hist. Nat. Univ. Caldas [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.2, pp.63-77. ISSN 0123-3068.

The hematological and blood chemistry parameters in Amazona amazonica and Amazona ochrocephala were tested under captivity conditions in CAV Torre 4 of CORPOCALDAS (Autonomous Regional Corporation of Caldas) in Manizales. A total of 109 blood samples were taken for both species, from which 49 blood samples were used for a hemogram, while 60 blood samples were used for blood chemistry. The variables tested for hemogram were: Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, Erythrocytes Count, MCV, MCHC, Leukocytes Count, Differential Leukocytes Count and Protein Count; in blood chemistry the variables tested were: Albumin, Cholesterol, Glucose, Creatinine, Urea, Calcium, Phosphorus and Globulins. In A. amazonica the Hemoglobin, Erythrocytes Count, Eosinophilics, Proteins Count, Cholesterol, Creatinine, Urea, Phosphorus and Globulins values were higher,while the VGM, CHCM and Monocytes values were lower. In A. ochrocephala there are higher levels of: Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, Erythrocytes Count, Eosinophils, Proteins Count, Albumin, Cholesterol, Glucose, Phosphorus and Globulins; the VGM and Basophils values were lower.
