Pronghorn restoration projects routinely capture and translocate individuals from surplus populations to restoration areas. The objective of this study was to generate normal hematological and biochemical reference intervals (RI) for free-ranging pronghorn populations in Texas as a health monitoring tool for pronghorn restoration efforts. Blood samples were collected by jugular venipuncture and divided among an EDTA tube, serum separator tube, and a single blood smear on site. Complete blood counts and biochemical profiles were completed at the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory. In total, 417 individuals (41 males, 376 females) were included in the analysis. RI were determined by robust methods (R Studio) and mixed models' analysis of variance (SPSS 28) to examine differences in blood parameters due to fever, sex, age (adult versus yearling [&lt;1 yr of age]), cell abnormalities, and pathogen exposure reported by the testing laboratory. Sex, age, and pathogen exposure affected mean blood values, but did not warrant development of separate RI by class. Bluetongue virus was identified in 46.8% (195\/417) of pronghorns and epizootic hemorrhagic disease in 89.4% (194\/217) of pronghorns; 84.8% (184\/217) of the pronghorns tested positive for both diseases. This information provides baseline hematology and biochemical parameters to assess the health of free-ranging pronghorn and guide wildlife managers in decision-making for future translocations and restoration objectives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1638\/2023-0119","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,5]],"date-time":"2024-09-05T05:52:29Z","timestamp":1725515549000},"page":"573-584","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["HEMATOLOGY AND BIOCHEMICAL REFERENCE INTERVALS FOR FREE-RANGING PRONGHORN (ANTILOCAPRA AMERICANA) IN WEST TEXAS"],"prefix":"10.1638","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Ashley M.","family":"Reeves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shawn S.","family":"Gray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Louis A.","family":"Harveson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clayton D.","family":"Hilton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cary M.","family":"Springer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Warren C.","family":"Conway","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert O.","family":"Dittmar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1213","reference":[{"key":"28","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"PS Horn  and AJ Pesce  \"Clin Chim Acta.\"  334, \"Reference intervals: an update.\" 5 (2003)","DOI":"10.1016\/S0009-8981(03)00133-5"},{"key":"44","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"MG Ruder, TJ Lysyk, DE Stallknecht, et al.  \"Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis.\"  15, \"Transmission and epidemiology of bluetongue and epizootic hemorrhagic disease in North America: Current perspectives, research gaps, and future directions.\" 348 (2015)","DOI":"10.1089\/vbz.2014.1703"},{"key":"49","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"CW.
