Hello Everyone,
Would anyone be able to supply me with a formula (and hopefully a
reference) for determining blood volume> Perhaps based on height and
weight/ body surface area, lean body mass? Any help is greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I usually use 65-70 ml/kg but it depends on the species

Hello Bob,
you will find blood volume (man: 7.5% of body mass) and other
physiological parameters for man, rodents, rabbit, dog, and monkey in:
DAVIES,B. and T.MORRIS: Physiological parameters in laboratory animals
and humans, Pharm. Res. 10, 1093-1095, 1993.

The general rule is 8% of body wieght. Thus 80 mL of blod per kg body wieght

I've found the Geigy Scientific Tables (were published by Ciba Geigy before
the merger; now?) useful for human blood volume as functions of the sort of
parameters you mention. I think offhand it's one of the later volumes which
treats the subject in some detail, with a choice of formulae and secondary
references.
