Abstract: MATEL,IRVIN dL. SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF THE HAIRS OF THE PHILIPPINE SPOTTED DEER (Genius alfredi), THE CALAMIAN DEER (Cervus calamianensis), AND THE PHILIPPINE BROWN DEER (Cervus mariannus). Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April, 2003. Adviser: Jun B. Feranil, DVM. Co-adviser: Sri Harmen Amiel P. Hartantyo, DVM. The study was conducted from August to December 2002 with the aim of characterizing the surface morphology of the cuticles of the hairs from the different regions of the body of the female Philippine spotted deer (Cervus alfredi), the male Calamian deer (Cervus calamianensis) and the male Philippine brown deer (Genius mariannus) using the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The pattern of hair cuticles, the appearance of the dorsal margins, the orientation of the hair cuticles as well as the cuticular densities of the hairs from the head, neck, shoulder, forelimb, thorax, abdomen, hindlimb and tail were noted. The results obtained were compared with the previous study conducted by Maala and Saguibo in 1996. Variations in cuticular patterns were observed in different body regions within the same species. The Philippine spotted deer showed no variation in cuticular pattern. All samples had imbricate crenate pattern. I Imbricate flattened pattern was noted on the head and on the shoulder of the Calamian deer, and on the abdomen, hindlimb and tail of the Philippine brown deer. All other samples exhibited imbricate crenate pattern. The appearance of the dorsal margins was also examined. Obliquely oriented pattern was observed on the samples that came from the forelimb of the Calamian deer and the neck of the Philippine brown deer and the rest were transversely oriented with irregular margins. The Calamian deer and the Philippine brown deer had the same scale stacking density being highly stacked. The scales of the Philippine spotted deer, on the other hand, were highly stacked while the rest of the regions were moderately stacked. A preliminary study by Maala and Saguibo (1996) examined the hairs from the head, forelimb, back, hindlimb and tail of male Philippine spotted deer, female Calamian deer and Philippine mouse deer. They observed imbricate flattened patterns from the head and hindlimb, while serrate corona pattern was seen from the forelimb and tail. Smooth dorsal margins were observed in the head and hindlimb and serrated irregular on the forelimb and tail. Obliquely oriented hair cuticles were observed on the regions of head, forelimb and hindlimb.
