Abstract

Haematology and serum biochemistry was analysed on samples collected from four endangered Carpentarian Rock-rats (Zyzomys palatalis) maintained in a captive colony at the Territory Wildlife Park, Northern Territory. As these animals are endangered, only small sample numbers were able to be analysed. Most haematological and serum biochemical parameters were similar to those for other native Australian murids, with the exception of alkaline phosphatase and creatinine. The study provides preliminary haematology and serum biochemistry information for the Carpentarian Rock-rat and will assist managers of this species to assess the health of the captive and wild populations.
