Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina VeterináriaThe present study aims to evaluate the prevalence of iron storage disease in captive ringtailed lemurs’ populations housed in different zoological parks in Portugal and relate it to the different diet regimens. Eighteen animals were admitted to this study and then subdivided into three different groups, according to their zoological institution. Blood transferrin saturation level was measured for each animal. The diet given at each park was also analyzed and then related to the obtained transferrin saturation values. It was verified that transferrin saturation value is high in 89% of the animals and the mean was higher than 55% (above the reference range) in all groups. Despi...
