摘要: Blood samples were collected from a high density population of wild badgers in Woodchester Park, Gloucestershire, England, where animals routinely captured and examined as part long-term ecological study, selection haematological biochemical variables measured. The badger cubs had lower red blood cell counts haemoglobin concentrations than the adults, consistent with physiological anaemia, serum protein concentrations. Growth muscle active bone formation probably accounted for their higher creatinine calcium, activities alkaline phosphatase. Only triglyceride varied between sexes. concentration urea was observed other mustelids, protein-rich diet possibly related to consumption earthworms.
