ABSTRACT
Skinner-Harris BL, Williams AM., Normative Hematological Values of
Captive Grey-Necked Owl Monkeys (Aotus lemurinus
griseimembra), Onl J Vet
Res., (1) :51-54, 2008. To assess the physiologic and pathologic conditions of
captive animals, it is important to know normal blood values for
individual species. Unfortunately, few papers on hematological values in owl
monkeys have been published and do not include data from wild-caught animals
that were unanesthetized1,2. Whole blood samples from 43 captive, unanesthetized Aotus lemurinus griseimembra (A. l. griseimembra) were analyzed to determine
reference ranges and the effect of age and sex on normal blood values.
Statistically significant age-related differences (P<0.05) were found in the
lymphocyte and monocyte percentages. No statistically significant difference in
values was found when hematological values were analyzed by sex.
Key words: hematological value, nonhuman primate, aotus
monkey, owl monkey, captive.
