摘要

了解野生有蹄类动物的生理变异对生态监测和野生动物可持续管理至关重要。本研究旨在研究性别和季节(秋季与初冬)是否显著影响罗马尼亚东喀尔巴阡山脉自由放养的马鹿(Cervus elaphus)的血液和生化参数。共包括40名合法采集的成年个体(20名男性,20名女性),血样在标准化条件下采集,以尽量减少分析前的可变性。血液学参数(WBC、RBC、HGB、HCT、plt)和血清生化指标(葡萄糖、尿素、总胆固醇、甘油三酯、总蛋白)采用全自动兽医分析仪进行分析。秋季的红细胞压积和冬季的血红蛋白浓度存在统计学上显著的性别差异,男性较高。不同性别间的季节变化不显著,但显示冬季血液浓度的生理趋势。生化指标均在参考范围内,各组间无显著差异。Pearson相关分析显示,红细胞压积和尿素之间存在很强的相关性,白细胞和葡萄糖之间存在适度的相关性,这表明氧转运、蛋白质代谢和能量平衡之间存在联系。诸如食物供应减少和冬季温度变化等环境因素可能有助于这些生理调整。这些结果为马鹿种群的生理评估提供了基线数据,并为野生动物监测项目中生态健康指标的制定提供了支持。鼓励在未来的研究中纳入跨季节的激素和免疫生物标志物,以进一步了解动物的适应性反应。

Assessment of Blood Parameters in Free-Ranging Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) from the Eastern Carpathians Between Autumn and Early Winter.

Understanding physiological variability in wild ungulates is essential for ecological monitoring and sustainable wildlife management. This study aimed to examine whether sex and season (autumn vs. early winter) significantly influence hematological and biochemical parameters in free-ranging red deer (Cervus elaphus) from the Eastern Carpathians, Romania. A total of 40 legally harvested adult individuals (20 males, 20 females) were included, and blood samples were collected post-mortem under standardized conditions to minimize pre-analytical variability. Hematological parameters (WBC, RBC, HGB, HCT, PLTs) and serum biochemical markers (glucose, urea, total cholesterol, triglycerides, total protein) were analyzed using automated veterinary analyzers. Statistically significant sex-related differences were found in hematocrit during autumn and hemoglobin concentration during winter, with higher values in males. Seasonal variation within sex groups was not significant but indicated a physiological trend toward hemoconcentration in winter. Biochemical values remained within reference ranges and showed no significant differences across groups. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a strong association between hematocrit and urea, and moderate correlations were observed between WBC and glucose, suggesting links between oxygen transport, protein metabolism, and energy balance. Environmental factors such as reduced food availability and temperature shifts during winter likely contribute to these physiological adjustments. These results provide baseline data for the physiological assessment of red deer populations and support the development of ecological health indicators in wildlife monitoring programs. Future studies incorporating hormonal and immunological biomarkers across multiple seasons are encouraged to further understand adaptive responses in cervids.
