The purpose of this study was to compare haematology and biochemistry data for captive and free-ranging wild boar in the UK and to evaluate whether significant differences were present between these two boar populations. The samples from the captive wild boar comprised 18 adult females housed in three interconnected outdoor paddocks, whilst the samples from free-ranging wild boar comprised 19 adult females living in unrestricted woodland. Samples were obtained under general anaesthesia during health checks. Free-ranging wild boar had significantly lower serum concentrations of total protein, globulin, ionised calcium, urea, creatinine and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity and significantly higher serum concentrations of phosphate, bile acids and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity compared with captive wild boar. Haematological values for free-ranging wild boar showed significantly higher red blood cell counts (RBC), white blood cell counts (WBC) and neutrophil counts and significantly lower mean cell volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH). These results provide evidence that significant differences in serum biochemistry and haematology values may exist between captive and free-ranging populations of the same native species. Such differences may need to be considered when studies are undertaken or reported from wild animal populations in semi-natural husbandry situations. Potential sources of these differences may include nutritional state, level of activity and environmental stress.
