چکیده
1 The aim of this study was to objectively assess stress of kangaroos affected by lumpy jaw 2 disease (LJD) using plasma and hair cortisol concentrations. The plasma and hair samples 3 were collected from kangaroos with LJD and healthy controls. Collected hair samples were 4 extracted with methanol after washing with isopropanol, following which they were processed 5 with the cortisol enzyme immunoassay kit. The plasma cortisol concentration of LJD animals 6 tended to be higher than that of the control. Ventral hair cortisol, but not dorsal hair, of LJD 7 animals was significantly higher than that of the control. In conclusion, stress in kangaroos 8 infected with LJD could be assessed by measuring ventral hair cortisol. 9
