摘要:Hematological analysis was conducted on blood samples collected from mugger crocodiles (n =28) (Crocodylus palustris) using Supra-occipital plexus technique and/or Cardiocentesis technique. The hematological analysis revealed a mean value of 22.75 ? 1.16 (%) for PCV, 7.21 ? 0.39 (g/dl) for Hb, 0.85 ? 0.07 (? 106/ Cmm) for RBC and 10.14 ? 0.48 (? 103/ Cmm) for WBC. Similarly, the overall mean values for ESR, heterophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils, thrombocytes and clotting time were also documented. No blood parasites were recorded in mugger crocodiles.
