Normal mean values for hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, erythrocyte and leukocyte counts, hematimetric indices, erythrocyte dimensions, glucose, urea, uric acid, cholesterol, creatinine, total bilirubin, serum aspartate aminotransferase, serum alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine phosphokinase, lactic dehydrogenase, inorganic phosphorus, chloride, total plasma protein, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium were obtained from the blood or plasma of four Masai ostriches (Struthio camelus) when juveniles at 5 mo of age and as adults 1 yr later in the Barcelona Zoo (Spain). Young ostriches had significantly lower concentrations of hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, calcium, and magnesium, and higher levels of total protein and potassium, than the adult individuals. The rest of the parameters were not significantly different between the two age groups. The data obtained provide reference values for Masai ostriches.
从四只马赛鸵鸟（鸵鸟属骆驼鸵鸟）的血液或血浆中获取了血细胞比容、血红蛋白浓度、红细胞和白细胞计数、血液学指标、红细胞尺寸、葡萄糖、尿素、尿酸、胆固醇、肌酐、总胆红素、血清天冬氨酸转氨酶、血清丙氨酸转氨酶、碱性磷酸酶、肌酸磷酸激酶、乳酸脱氢酶、无机磷、氯、总血浆蛋白、钠、钾、钙和镁的正常平均值。这些鸵鸟在5个月大的幼年时期以及1年后在西班牙巴塞罗那动物园成年时进行了检测。幼年鸵鸟的血细胞比容、血红蛋白浓度、钙和镁的浓度显著低于成年个体，而总蛋白和钾的水平则高于成年个体。两个年龄组之间的其他参数没有显著差异。所获得的数据为马赛鸵鸟提供了参考值。
