Abstract
Serum and urine analytes were compared between adult wild-caught and a dult colony-born owl monkeys (Aotus nancymae), to determine if normati ve clinical pathology data were similar. Significant differences (P le ss-than-or-equal-to 0.05) were noted in serum protein, glucose, sodium , urine calcium, calcium clearance, and fractional clearance of calciu m between the two groups. The results suggest that reference data for feral owl monkeys is not completely applicable to colony-born animals, however, the differences are too small to be of clinical significance .
