Abstract
Fifty blood samples were collected from sheep of different regions in Salah Al-Din Governorate for the period from November 2019 to April 2020 to detected some hematological and biochemical criteria and the infection with intestinal protozoa (Eimeria, Cryptosporidium) and helminthes (Marshallagia sp, Trichostrongylus sp, Ostertagia sp ,Haemonchus sp, Chabertia sp , Nematodirus sp , Toxocara sp, Cooperia sp , Oesophagostomum sp , Strongyloid sp) .
The results of the study showed that the infection with intestinal protozoa and nematodes in sheep had an effect on the haematological parameters, as there was a significant decrease in the red blood cells (RBCs), volume of packed blood cells (PCV), lymphocytes compared to the control Groups reaching 4.9±1.173,21.9±7.2±1.871, 21.9± 2.881, 45.1± 3.624 respectively.
While there was a significant increase in the number of white blood cells (WBCs) compared to the control groups reaching 13.2±3.116 respectively.
Regarding biochemical parameters, there was a significant decrease in the concentration of protein and albumin, 5.308±0.552, 2.124±0.372 respectively, as well as a significant decrease in the concentration of iron and calcium, 158.6 ± 34.4, 8.73± 2.48 respectively, while no change in the concertation of magnesium and potassium was reported.
