TI  - HEMATOLOGICAL REFERENCE INTERVALS OF ENDANGERED CAPTIVE BLACK-FRONTED 
      PIPING-GUANS (ABURRIA JACUTINGA) IN THE STATE OF PARANA, BRAZIL.

AB  - The black-fronted piping-guan (Aburria jacutinga) is and an endangered cracid 
      species and little is known about its health. Hematology allows researchers to 
      assess the health and physiological status of a population, but, to our 
      knowledge, reference intervals are not available in the literature for A. 
      jacutinga. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the hematological reference 
      intervals of 31 captive black-fronted pipingguan adults in the state of Parana, 
      Brazil. Blood samples were collected from brachial vein and stored in heparinized 
      tubes to be processed. The red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) counts 
      were performed in a hemocytometer, and hemoglobin (HGB) concentration was 
      obtained by the spectrophotometric cyanmethemoglobin method; packed cell volume 
      (PCV) was determined by microhematocrit technique, and the mean corpuscular 
      volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were calculated 
      according to a previously established formula. The heterophil : lymphocyte ratio 
      was calculated by dividing the number of heterophils by the number of 
      lymphocytes. Determination of the 95% reference intervals and 90% confidence 
      intervals were performed in accordance with American Society for Veterinary 
      Clinical Pathology guidelines using Reference Value Advisor (version 2.0). The 
      results obtained were as follows: RBC, 1.4-2.8 x 10(6)/microl; PCV, 34.3-51.2%; HGB, 
      8.0-12.6 g/dl; MCV, 157.3-261.4 fl; MCHC, 22.0-26.7 g/dl; WBC, 2.3-33.1 x 
      10(3)/microl; heterophils, 12.1-16.3%, 0.5-14.4 x 10(3)/microl; lymphocytes, 19.8-69.0%, 
      1.4-16.4 x 10(3)/microl; monocytes, 0.7-17.3%, 0.1-2.8x10(3)/microl; eosinophils, 
      0.4-12.8%, 0.0-3.9 x 10(3)/microl; basophils, 0.8-12.0%, 0.0-1.9 x 10(3)/microl; and the 
      heterophil : lymphocyte ratio, 0.2-3.0. The present study fills gaps in the 
      literature on hematological values for A. jacutinga, which can be used to assess 
      the health of the species populations. In addition, it contributed to 
      establishing the health status of captive black-fronted piping-guans, indicating 
      the possible welfare of the birds.
