The present study evaluated the analytical performance of an automated veterinary hematology analyzers (Biobase BK-5000, Vet, China) for blood samples obtained from Chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) and captive Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), using manual hematological techniques as the reference standard. Red blood cell count, hemoglobin and platelet count were determined by both automated and manual method, and comparative assessment was performed using correlation, regression, agreement and accuracy analysis. Results showed no significant differences in red blood cell counting between methods, whereas Hb and PLT values differed significantly (P≤ 0.0.5) across both species. Hemoglobin exhibited strong correlation, high predictive accuracy and narrow limits of agreement, indicating robust analyzer performance for this parameter. In contrast, platelet count demonstrated marked variability, weaker concordance and broader limits of agreements, particularly in chukar partridge. Species specific differences were evident across statistical models, underscoring variable analyzer performance among avian taxa. Overall, automated hematology analysis proved dependable for RBC and Hb estimation in the studied species, while Platelet enumeration necessitates cautious interpretation confirmatory manual assessment. The findings highlight the importance of species adopted reference intervals and routine analyzer validation to improve the reliability of avian diagnostics.
