It is about the hematocrit and plasma chemistry values of adult captive collared scops owls ( Otus lettia ) and crested serpent eagles ( Spilornis cheela hoya ). In addition, the values are also differ from gender. On 37 adult captive collared scops owls and 39 adult captive crested serpent eagles, measuring their hematocrit (HCT) and plasma chemistry values for uric acid (UA), plasma urea nitrogen (BUN), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), glucose (GLU), cholesterol (CHO), Triglyceride (TG), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TBIL), creatine (CRE), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), amylase (AMY), calcium (CA), ionic phosphorous (IP), sodium (NA), potassium (K), and chloride ions (CL). Measuring for UA, GLU, and CPK on collared scops owl, the concentrations have obvious diversity in sex. Males have evidently higher concentrations of UA and GLU ( p < 0.05) than females, however, males have evidently lower concentration of CPK than females. Even so, to crested serpent eagles, there is evidently higher CPK concentration ( p < 0.05) on males. Above all, it shows that raptors have varies hematocrit and plasma chemistry values due to species, body size, and sex. All these results would be helpful reference of plasma values for adult captive collared scops owls and crested serpent eagles. Also, it benefits the diagnostic tools on veterinary care of both captive species and individuals.
