【 摘 要 】

Currently, there are no complete parameters established for serum biochemistry andhematology for the determination of health status of rescued common palm civets(Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). In this study, blood samples wereobtained from 18 adults and 15 juvenile civets caught on Singapore Main Island.Significant age-related differences (P<0.05) were noted in thehemoglobin, erythrocyte count, packed cell volume (PCV), total serum protein and globulinconcentration in the adult civets showing higher values compared with the juvenile civets.The mean corpuscular volume (MCV), the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and the phosphorusconcentrations were significantly higher (P<0.05) in juvenilescompared with adult civets.
