-- The purpose of this study was to determine the hematological values of the white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) bred in captivity at the Parque de las Leyendas Zoo, a total of forty-four animals were enrolled distributed in twenty-one females and twenty-three males, kept under the same conditions of handing, feeding and health. The animals were anesthetic with ketamine (15mg/kg) using a pole syringe, the blood sample were collected from the jugular vein using vacutainers containing EDTA. We determined the Red blood cell count (RBC) and the White blood cell count (WBC) by using the Neubauer’s camera, the Hemoglobin (Hb) was determined with the Cyanomethahemoglobin, the Hematocrit (Ht) calculated with the Microhematocrito method, and the count differential by Wright stain. Our results were : RBC (106/ul) 8.15, Hb (g/dl) 13.13, Ht (%) 44.23, VCM (fl) 54.71, CHCM (g/dl) 29.65, HCM (pg) 16.20, WBC (103/ul) 12.29, Band neutrophils (%) 0.05, Neutrophils (%) 54.66, Lymphocytes (%) 43.32, Basophils (%) 1, Eosinophils (%) 1.95. These values are similar to the reported in previous studies in collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu). In this study were not statistically significant differences between males and females.
