Normal hematological and blood chemistry were measured in 45 American bison (Bison bison) that were divided into three age groups for comparison. There was a statistically significant (P less than .05) increase with advancing age in mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, absolute neutrophil and eosinophil counts, total protein, globulin, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen. There was a statistically significant (P less than .05) decrease with advancing age in levels of sorbital dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, glucose, sodium, calcium and phosphorus. Key words: Hematology, blood chemistry, American bison, Bison bison, age groups
