TI  - Hematologic and biochemical values for Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) captured 
      via drive-net and box-trap.
PG  - 965-72
AB  - Between October 2002 and September 2004, 70 free-ranging Spanish ibex (Capra 
      pyrenaica) were captured in Catalonia, northeastern Spain, using two different 
      physical methods, drive-net (n=26) and box-trap (n=44). Blood samples were taken 
      to determine 20 hematologic and 23 biochemical variables. Values obtained fell 
      within already published reference intervals, with the following exceptions: 
      higher values for red blood cells (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV), white blood 
      cells (WBC), eosinophil count, triglyceride concentration, creatine kinase (CK; 
      in box-trap), chloride, sodium, alpha-1, alpha-2, and gamma electrophoretic 
      fractions of serum proteins; and lower values for hemoglobin, mean corpuscular 
      volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), urea 
      concentration, CK (in drive-net), albumin, and albumin:globulins ratio (A:G). 
      Published values for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) concentration are both 
      higher and lower than observed in this study. In our study, monocyte and 
      eosinophil counts, as well as triglyceride and potassium concentrations, were 
      lower in animals captured via box-trap than those captured via drive-net. 
      Conversely, MCHC, neutrophil count, total bilirubin concentration, urea, and AST 
      were higher in animals captured via box-trap. Hematologic and biochemical values 
      obtained from Spanish ibexes show that the drive-net is a newer, less-stressful 
      method of capture than the box-trap.
