Abstract. In order to study serumbiochemistry of Persian fallowdeer (Damamesopotamica), sampling was conducted from eight clinicaly normal Persian fallow deer (three females and ¢ve males) aged between 6 months and 10 years and the following results were obtained: total protein 68.4
5 g/l; albumin 28.1
8.9 g/l; globulin 42.7
7.5 g/l; A: G 0.63
0.25; glucose 6.61
3.41 mmol/l; triglyceride 0.37
0.22 mmol/l; cholesterol 2.86
1.46 mmol/l; blood urea nitrogen 8.91
1.21 mmol/l; creatinin 146.75
53.92 mmol/l; total bilirubin 12.99
2.05 mmol/l; direct bilirubin 7.01
1.88 mmol/l; aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 20.25
7.36 IU/l; alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 26.38
8.94 IU/l; alkaline phosphatase (AP) 118.25
70.79 IU/l; creatine kinase (CK) 219.13
151.81 IU/l; Na 147.5
9.09 mmol/l; K 6.82
1.92 mmol/l; Cl 103.88
5.44 mmol/l; Ca 2.79
0.43 mmol/l; P 1.99
0.47 mmol/l; Mg 1.12
0.23 mmol/l. Signi¢cant di¡erences were seen for Na and P between age groups, with higher levels in deer aged less than 2 years (p50.05). Glucose had higher values in does than in stags (p50.05). Correlations between measured parameters were also determined.
