Abstract

This study analysed the hematological profile of wild boars on Timor Island as a physiological reference. Blood from 10 healthy adult wild boars (5 males and 5 females, 3–5 years, 15–30 kg) was collected via the jugular vein and analysed. Leukocyte counts were lower than reference values, with elevated neutrophils and reduced lymphocytes and eosinophils. Monocyte and basophil levels remained within normal range. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (4.15) indicated physiological stress. Erythrocyte count, hemoglobin, and PCV exceeded reference values, while MCV, MCH, and MCHC were normal. Variations may reflect genetic, environmental, nutritional, seasonal, geographic,and handling stress factors.
