Abstract:	Animal health has a huge impact on public health, food production, economy and environment. The animals, and especially wildlife, are considered the source of more than 70% of emerging diseases. Health surveillance of wildlife is critical in order to control these diseases. This surveillance includes the capture and handling of animals for different purposes. In these operations a stress response occurs and the risk of traumatic injuries increases. Many of the traditional imaging diagnostic techniques are already widely used in veterinary. By contrast, the use of QUS, DXA and biochemical markers of bone remodeling is not widespread. This is accentuated in the field of wildlife. Our intention is to make a review of the noninvasive diagnostic methods for assessing bone status, with particular attention to the DXA and bone biochemical markers.
