The purpose of this research was to develop reference values for haematological and biochemical variables in the Canary camel breed (). 114 clinically healthy dromedary camels were assessed. Age, sex, and pregnancy status was also recorded. The reference range for red blood cells (RBCs) was 8.45 - 13.65 X10/µL, haemoglobin (HGB) was 10.61 - 15.29 g/dL, packed cell volume (PCV) was 19.93 - 32.51 %, and white blood cells (WBCs) 7.35 - 18.36 X10/µL. A correlation was established between the haemoglobin concentration (HGB) (g/dl) and packed cell volume (PCV) obtaining a linear regression (HGB = 0.31 PCV + 4.67). Young animals had higher RBC and WBC values than adult animals. Additionally, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), phosphorus, calcium, albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol, and lipase were higher in young animals compared with adults. Female dromedary camels showed higher values for the three main variables: RBC, HGB and PCV, but no differences between sexes were detected in the biochemical variables results. The WBC count was higher in non-pregnant females than in pregnant animals. These results provide references values for the Canary camel breed and may contribute to the understanding of differences in 18 haematological and biochemical parameters in dromedary camels with a potential impact in health and welfare for this species.
本研究的目的是制定加那利骆驼品种血液学和生化指标的参考值。对114头临床健康的单峰骆驼进行了评估。同时记录了年龄、性别和妊娠状态。红细胞（RBC）的参考范围为8.45 - 13.65×10⁶/µL，血红蛋白（HGB）为10.61 - 15.29 g/dL，血细胞比容（PCV）为19.93 - 32.51%，白细胞（WBC）为7.35 - 18.36×10³/µL。建立了血红蛋白浓度（HGB）（g/dl）与血细胞比容（PCV）之间的相关性，得到线性回归方程（HGB = 0.31PCV + 4.67）。幼龄动物的红细胞和白细胞值高于成年动物。此外，幼龄动物的血尿素氮（BUN）、磷、钙、白蛋白/球蛋白（A/G）比值、碱性磷酸酶、胆固醇和脂肪酶水平均高于成年动物。雌性单峰骆驼的红细胞、血红蛋白和血细胞比容这三个主要指标值较高，但在生化指标结果中未检测到性别差异。未怀孕雌性的白细胞计数高于怀孕动物。这些结果为加那利骆驼品种提供了参考值，并可能有助于理解单峰骆驼18项血液学和生化参数的差异，对该物种的健康和福利具有潜在影响。
