Studies on Normal Haematological and Biochemical Parameters of Hassawi Cattle Breed in Saudi Arabia

This study includes the normal values of haematological and biochemical parameters in 21 apparently healthy Hassawi cattle. The mean haematological values were as follow, the PCV was 35.1±1.1%, RBC was 7.2±1.1 (XI0₁₂ l^-1), Hb was 12.0±1.4 (g dl^-1) and WBC was 14.6±2.3 (X10⁹ l^-1), Neutrophiles were 58±2.0% and Lymphocytes were 30±1.2%. Few monocytes, eosinophiles and basophiles were observed. The serum levels of total protein, albumin, glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, urea, creatinine, sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (CL), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), Iron (Fe), Creatinine Kinase, Lactic dehydrogenase, Aspartate transaminase, Alanine transaminase, Alkaline phosphatase, γ- Glutamic transaminase were also investigated. The haematological and biochemical values obtained were found within the normal ranges reported by other workers in other breed of cattle.
