Abstract

Bloods from different species of adult male and female pheasant were collected to study the hematological values, plasma biochemical values, including the activities of alkaline phosphatase, electrophoretic patterns of plasma protein and hemoglobin electrophoretic bands. The mean plasma values for glucose, nonprotein nitrogen compounds(urea, uric acid and creatinine), total protein, cholesterol, calcium, sodium, potassium and inorganic phosphate were similar in adult male and female pheasant. Alkaline phosphatase activities and chloride concentrations in the plasma of the adult female pheasant were greater than in the plasma of the adult males (P < 0.05). There are no difference in the packed cell volume and hemoglobin concentrations of both sexes of pheasant. The concentrations of hemoglobin in the male pheasant (Lophura ignita) were greater than the other species of male pheasant (P < 0.05). Cellulose acetate electrophoretic separation of the albumin and globulins in the plasma of adult pheasant were similar. The fastest moving band, and normally the most prominent, is the albumin band found closest to the anodic side of the supporting medium. The cellulose acetate electrophoresis of hemoglobin of adult pheasant showed one major band and one minor
band.
