The Saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica) is native to Eurasia and is a member of the family Bovidae. Prior to 1920, the antelope had been extensively hunted for its horns, which were used in traditional Chinese medicine. Since 1920, the Saiga antelope has been protected because of this extensive hunting, which nearly led to its extinction.
The study evaluated haematological and biochemical parameters to provide references for the Calf Saiga antelope (S. tatarica). The study also sought to explore the mechanisms affecting these parameters in both genders of the Calf Saiga antelope.
Haematological and biochemical parameters were collected from the Calf Saiga antelope. Haematological and biochemical parameters were analysed by the Coulter counter and Automatic analyser, respectively.
The average concentrations of female triglyceride levels showed significantly higher values than the significant concentrations of male. Female red blood cells and platelets concentrations were statistically significant than the significant concentrations of males. Magnesium female concentrations were also significantly higher than male values. Other parameters showed differences between males and females.
The reported results show that haematological and biochemical characteristics varied among Calf Saiga antelope and other animals. The study results suggest that regardless of the factors, breed, the breeding environment, and climatic variables, haematological and biochemical variations can be triggered that can result in a reduction in the heat production needed for maintenance of homeothermy.
赛加羚羊（Saiga tatarica）原产于欧亚大陆，是牛科的一员。在 1920 年以前，由于其角被广泛用于传统中药，赛加羚羊遭到大量捕猎。自 1920 年以来，由于这种广泛的捕猎行为，赛加羚羊受到保护，否则它们几乎会灭绝。
本研究评估了血液学和生化参数，为小羚羊（S. tatarica）提供参考。本研究还试图探讨影响雌雄小羚羊这些参数的机制。
从小羚羊中采集血液学和生化参数。使用 Coulter 计数器和自动分析仪分别分析血液学和生化参数。
雌性甘油三酯浓度的平均值明显高于雄性，血小板浓度和红细胞浓度也显著高于雄性。镁的雌性浓度也明显高于雄性。其他参数在雄性和雌性之间也存在差异。
报告的结果表明，小羚羊和其他动物的血液学和生化特征存在差异。研究结果表明，无论因素如何，如品种、繁殖环境和气候变量，都可能引发血液学和生化变化，从而减少维持体温所需的热量产生。
