Hematology and Biochemical Reference Intervals for Free-ranging Pronghorn in West Texas

This study established hematological and biochemical reference intervals for free-ranging pronghorns in Texas, aiming to create a health monitoring tool for restoration efforts. The research analyzed blood samples from 417 pronghorns, finding that while factors like sex, age, and pathogen exposure affected blood values, they didn’t necessitate separate reference intervals. It also revealed high rates of viral infections among the sampled population.
