Conteúdo: 	Effects of level (ad libitum, 85%, 70%, or 55% ad lib.) and duration (28, 56, or 84 days) of dietary restriction on blood levels of selected metabolites and hormone in 14 captive adult female collared peccaries (Tayassu tajacu) were examined. There was a significant drop in body weight with prolonged dietary restriction. Red blood cell, count, hematocrit, and hemoglobin concentration were higher among ad lib.-fed peccaries after 84 days on expe- riment. The serum urea nitrogen ratio was significantly higher in ad lib.-fed peccaries and increased serially throughout the experiment. Serum glucose levels were lowest among the 55% ad lib.-fed peccaries. Cholesterol levels were higher in peccaries receiving the ad lib. diet, whereas nonesterified fatty acid levels were higher among peccaries fed restric- ted diets. Aspartate amino-transferase was the only serum enzyme to respond to level of dietary intake. Concentration of serum gamma globulin was higher and the albumin: globu- lin ratio was significantly lower among peccaries fed restricted diets. Serum thyroxine con- centration was higher in ad lib.-fed peccaries, but triiodothyronine and cortisol did not differ with respect to diet. Results suggest that hematological and serum biochemical profiles may be useful in assessing peccary condition.
