摘要: Abstract:  The aim of this study was to record the Schirmer tear test I (STT I) measurements in free-living vultures order estimate normal values. Eurasian black vulture (Aegypius monachus), which breeds Mediterranean region and Asia, is listed as near threatened; it also classified vulnerable at European level endangered Greece. griffon (Gyps fulvus), once widespread across continent, has undergone a dramatic decline led its extinction many regions. Sixty-two animals were examined total including 54 8 vultures. birds into five age groups while four then combined one large group: free-flying. STT complete ophthalmic examinations performed. Mean value for 10.9 ± 3.3 mm/min (right eye, oculus dexter, OD) 11.9 (left sinister, OS) 6.4 1.8 OD 6.5 mm/mi...
