SUMMARY: Blood samples were collected from 91 rusa deer ( Cervus timorensis russa ), Immediately after being shot. Serum mean blochemical values from shot deer are presented for blood urea nitrogen, creatlnine, creat***ine k***inase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total billrubin, total protein, albumin, calcium, and phosphorus. Mean total protein and albumin Increased with age. There was an age‐associated Increase of gamma globulins. Mean creatine kinase activity and creatinine, albumin and phosphorus concentrations were higher in stags than in hinds. Pregnant hinds had lower mean creatine kinase activity and phosphorus and higher mean alanine aminotransferase and total protein than non‐pregnant hinds. Mean calcium concentration increased when deer were agitated before bleeding.
