Reference blood chemical values were determined for 65 male and 61 female ostriches (Struthio camelus) 1 month to 72 months of age. Plasma values of glucose, total protein, triglycerides, cholesterol, uric acid, urea, bilirubin, creatinine, osmolality, electrolytes, and enzyme activity were determined. In general, differences in various values appeared mainly among age groups and less so between sexes. Older ostriches had lower plasma glucose values and enzyme activity than did younger ostriches. High plasma sodium and chloride concentrations in young ostriches correlated with high plasma osmolalities. Plasma calcium values were lower in laying ostriches. Uric acid concentrations were markedly higher than were urea concentrations in all ostriches.
测定了65只雄性和61只雌性鸵鸟（鸵鸟属骆驼鸵鸟）1月龄至72月龄的参考血液化学值。测定了血浆葡萄糖、总蛋白、甘油三酯、胆固醇、尿酸、尿素、胆红素、肌酐、渗透压、电解质和酶活性的值。一般来说，各种值的差异主要出现在年龄组之间，而性别之间的差异较小。年长的鸵鸟血浆葡萄糖值和酶活性低于年幼的鸵鸟。幼年鸵鸟血浆中高钠和高氯浓度与高血浆渗透压相关。产蛋鸵鸟的血浆钙值较低。所有鸵鸟的尿酸浓度均明显高于尿素浓度。
