Abstract

The hematological and biochemical parameters of 140 apparently healthy sheep consisting of 70 adults (35male and 35 female) comprised of 3 indigenous and popular brzzeeds of sheep of northern Nigeria were studied. Data were analyzed for the effect of breed, sex and season packed cell volume (PCV) was significantly higher (P
