Collected blood samples were immediately utilized for determination of various haematological parameters using automatic analyzer (Mind Ray BC 2800 Vet).

The pregnant group animals showed significantly (P<0.05) lower haemoglobin concentration compared to nonpregnant group. Postpartum group animals showed significantly (P
