Establishing Haematological Parameters Of Captive Asian Elephant (Elephas Maximus) In Malaysia

In Malaysia, Asian elephants play a significant role in the history and culture of the nation. Interpreting haematology and blood chemistry data for Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) can be challenging due to the wide range of reference values available. This study examined the haematological and se...
