Hematological and blood chemical values were determined for wild and captive mallards, Anas p. platyrhynchos, for the late spring period prior to remige moult through early fall migration. Hemoglobin, packed cell volume, erythrocyte and total leukocyte counts, as well as the number of heterophils and lymphocytes, declined significantly during and after remige moult compared to values recorded prior to remige moult. During fall migration mallard drakes had elevated levels of glucose and uric acid. No significant changes were observed in total protein, alkaline phosphatase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase or creatine phosphokinase in pre- or post-moult periods. The hematological and biochemical values should prove useful in providing background information on mallard drakes, and documenting baseline data for intra and interspecies comparisons with diseased birds.
在春季末期飞羽换羽前至秋季早期迁徙期间，测定了野生和圈养绿头鸭（Anas p. platyrhynchos）的血液学和血液化学值。与飞羽换羽前记录的值相比，在飞羽换羽期间及之后，血红蛋白、红细胞压积、红细胞和总白细胞计数，以及嗜异性粒细胞和淋巴细胞数量均显著下降。在秋季迁徙期间，雄性绿头鸭的葡萄糖和尿酸水平升高。在换羽前或换羽后时期，总蛋白、碱性磷酸酶、谷草转氨酶或肌酸磷酸激酶未观察到显著变化。这些血液学和生化值应有助于提供雄性绿头鸭的背景信息，并记录与患病鸟类进行种内和种间比较的基线数据。
