Resumen:
As part of an ongoing study on the health status of pichis, Zaedyus pichiy (Mammalia,Dasypodidae), blood was collected under manual restraint from 72 free-ranging pichis captured inMendoza Province, Argentina, between November 2001 and December 2006, and from 22captive-kept pichis in January 2007. Reference values were established for hematology and serumchemistry. Pichis had lower leukocyte counts and higher mean corpuscular volumes than mostother mammals. Blood values were similar for captive and wild pichis, and only a few significantdifferences were found among genders or age classes.
