Abstract

 

    This study was designed to measure the percent  of anemia in some ruminant   animals cow, sheep and goat in Alkhalis city of Diyala/ Iraq. Sixty nine blood samples(5ml/animal) were collected from jugular vein of some ruminant animals (cow, sheep and goat) by disposable syringe washed with anticoagulant(heparin), during blood sample collection district peasant association; age, sex and case history of each animal were recorded  for two months   November and December 2021 from different area of Alkhalis city (Altahuella, Hibhib, Altamor, Alsndia; Alsharqia; Aljdida and Alaswad) the collected blood samples were put in ice container and analyzed during 24 hr after collection at physiology laboratory/college of veterinary medicine/Diyala university. The results showed significant decrease of PCV, RBC and Hb  of anemic: cow in prevalence( 11%,11%,11%) , sheep( 34%,34%,55%) and goat(27%,27%,36%) . On the other hand the MCV, MCH and MCHC values illustrated significant decrease in sheep and goat while cow appeared significantly decrease in MCV only.   In conclusion; the ruminant animals sheep and goat suffering from anemia more than cow i.e sheep and goat more sensitive to bad management  beside; The type of anemia in cow microcytic normochromic, while the type of anemia in sheep and goat microcytic hypochromic.
