Abstract

Normal haematological and biochemical parameters have been determined in 3 breeds of Arabian camel (Camelus dromedaries) Both males and females were included in the study. Statistical analysis showed non- significant breed or sex effect. Compared to other farm animals haematological indices in the camel characteristically showed that lymphocytes were the predominant leucocytes. Packed cell volume was lower and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentrations were in excess. Albumin/globulin ratio exceeded 1 and -globulin was the predominant globulin.
