Abstract

Clinical pathology has been used
in veterinary medicine for many years to evaluate
metabolic changes that may indicate any sign of
disease in animals. Even though the use of blood
parameters is routine in companion animals, it is
not commonly used for avian clinical evaluation
either wild or production birds. Among others, the
lack of information of avian blood reference values
has limited the use of this tool in avian medicine.
The blood parameters in avian medicine are helpful
to evaluate aspects related to animal health for
wild and also production birds. Thus, this review
paper presents some ways to use clinical pathology
parameters to evaluate and to monitor the avian health.
