| Abstract | ||||
| Normal hematologic parameters of great importance, however age may influence these values of a given breed. This study directed to investigate consequence of age on hematologic parameters of healthy Arabian fillies, Yearling and mares. Sixty four Arabian females clinically and apparently healthy were involved in this study (25) fillies, (27) yearling and (12) Mares, hematologic parameters were investigated. Significant reduction in PCV, HB, Neutrophil and MCV were observed in fillies and yearling when compared to adult mares. Age appears to have a significant effect on hematologic parameters in Arabian horses. It was important to determine mean hematologic parameters in different age groups to help establish the difference between health and disease. | ||||
