Sažetak
Blood samples for determining haematological and biochemical values were taken from 23 healthy wild boars selected for breeding. All animals were in good condition, aged 3 to 5 years, body mass 100 to 150 kg. Total numbers of erythrocytes, concentration of haemoglobin, haematocrit and MCV values were somewhat higher than physiological values of domestic pig, while total number of leukocytes was lower, with more segmented granulocytes, than in domestic pigs. Mean values of alanine aminotransferase and creatine kinase were higher than physiological values in domestic pig, and aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total proteins, albumin, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine were within these values. Glucose level was significantly higher than values in domestic pigs.
