The effect of pregnancy on hematological and biochemical indices of crossbred cows reared in Kashmir valley was studied. Twenty one crossbred cows of Cattle Research Station Manasbal, Kashmir were used in the present research. The cows were divided in three groups, seven in each group viz., early, mid and late pregnant stages. Average mean values of hemoglobin (Hb), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Total Erythrocyte Count (TEC), Total Leucocyte Count (TLC), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC), glucose, total protein, albumin and globulin were determined during three stages of pregnancy. All hematological profile differed significantly (p<0.05) within the respective means except ESR, MCH and DLC. The average concentrations of glucose and total protein differed significantly (p<0.05) amongst the three stages of pregnancy while no effect on the average concentrations of albumin and globulin was observed.
