Age, sex, and gravidity significantly affect blood values in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). The objective of the study reported here was to provide clinicians and researchers with complete blood values for clinically normal, domestically reared rhesus monkeys of Indian origin and of different age, sex, and gravidity. Values were obtained from 527 healthy, domestically bred and reared rhesus monkeys at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson's Department of Veterinary Sciences, Bastrop, Texas. Because standardized reference values are vital when dealing with the healthcare of a breeding population of rhesus monkeys, it is imperative to have a comprehensive set of reference serum biochemical and hematologic values based on sex, age, and gravidity to determine the overall health status of an individual monkey or a colony used for breeding or research. Establishing reference values allows accurate interpretation of biochemical and hematologic values for normal, subclinical, or clinically ill animals.
年龄、性别和妊娠状态会显著影响恒河猴（猕猴）的血液值。本文报告的研究目的是为临床医生和研究人员提供印度原产、不同年龄、性别和妊娠状态的国内饲养的临床正常恒河猴的全血值。这些值取自德克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症中心兽医科学系位于德克萨斯州巴斯托普的527只健康的、国内繁殖和饲养的恒河猴。由于标准化参考值在处理恒河猴繁殖群体的医疗保健时至关重要，因此必须有一套基于性别、年龄和妊娠状态的全面的参考血清生化和血液学值，以确定用于繁殖或研究的个体猴子或群体的整体健康状况。建立参考值有助于准确解释正常、亚临床或临床患病动物的生化和血液学值。
