Blood samples were collected from 14 male and 20 female clinically nor
mal captive houbara bustards (Chlamydotis undulata macqueenii). Standa
rd haematology assays were carried out to establish normal reference v
alues for the species. No significant statistical differences were obs
erved between males and females. The results obtained are compared wit
h similar studies conducted in the great bustard (Otis tarda).
