Gestation Effects on the Hematological and Biochemical Profile of Nubian Ibex (Capra Nubiana)

The aim of this study was to investigate effect of gestation periods on thehaematological and biochemical parameters in adult captive wild (Capra nubiana),a group of 21Nubian ibexwas selected for the study. the mean values of the different (RBC) and (WBC) showed significant changes during gestation. (RBC), (PCV) and (Hb) increased while total (WBC) and segmented neutrophils increased after the second gestation period in the second period. The numbers of total leucocytes and segmented neutrophilsincreased after the second period. The concentration of the (AST) was declined during progression of gestation, On the other hand the concentration of (ALT) was increased and arrived maximum concentration at second period of gestation.
