Hematology, Serum Chemistry, and Serum Protein Electrophoresis Ranges for Free-ranging Roe Deer (<i>Capreolus capreolus</i>) in Sweden

Abstract

We present the first reference ranges for hematology (n = 35 animals), serum biochemistry (n = 62), and serum protein electrophoresis (n = 32) in physically restrained free-ranging roe deer (Capreolus capreolus). Animals were captured in box traps and physically restrained for blood sampling during the winter in Sweden, 2011-13. No clinically significant sex or age differences were found.
