Hematological and serum biochemical responses to two levels of dietary energy (high energy [HE], 3300 kcal digestible energy [DE]/kg; moderate energy [ME], 2300 kcal DE/kg) and protein (high protein [HP], 16.0% crude protein; moderate protein [MP], 8.4% crude protein) during gestation in 15 collared peccaries (Tayassu tajacu) were examined. Dietary energy and protein levels influenced body weight gain during gestation. Red blood cell counts and lymphocyte concentrations were higher and neutrophil concentrations were lower among females fed an HP diet compared to those fed an MP diet. Alkaline phosphatase and alpha-2 globulin concentrations were higher among females fed an MP diet. Aspartate aminotransferase and cholesterol concentrations were higher and calcium and thyroxine concentrations were lower among females fed ME diets compared to those fed HE diets. These results suggest that physiological indices used in combination with morphological measurements can be useful in assessing collared peccary nutritional health during gestation.
研究了15只领西貒（Tayassu tajacu）在妊娠期对两种水平的日粮能量（高能量[HE]，3300千卡可消化能量[DE]/千克；中等能量[ME]，2300千卡DE/千克）和蛋白质（高蛋白[HP]，16.0%粗蛋白；中等蛋白[MP]，8.4%粗蛋白）的血液学和血清生化反应。日粮能量和蛋白质水平影响妊娠期体重增加。与饲喂MP日粮的雌性相比，饲喂HP日粮的雌性红细胞计数和淋巴细胞浓度更高，中性粒细胞浓度更低。饲喂MP日粮的雌性碱性磷酸酶和α-2球蛋白浓度更高。与饲喂HE日粮的雌性相比，饲喂ME日粮的雌性天冬氨酸转氨酶和胆固醇浓度更高，钙和甲状腺素浓度更低。这些结果表明，生理指标与形态学测量相结合可用于评估领西貒妊娠期的营养健康状况。
