Abstract

Abstract The current study was designed to evaluate the effect of sexual maturity in both male cows and buffaloes on hematological parameters. Blood samples were collected from 20 immature malecows and 20 mature males. In the same way, samples were collected from male buffaloes. The results of the statistical analysis showed a significant increase in the values of the packed cells volume (PCV) and the number of red blood cells of thesexually mature male cows compared with the immature, and a rise in the PCV, the concentration of hemoglobin and the number of red blood cells for the mature male buffaloes compared with the immature, while no effect of sexual maturity was observed on the number of white blood cells for both male cows and buffaloes. In conclusion, the age of sexual maturity in male cows and buffaloes had an effect that would raise the values of red bloodcells count, PCV, and hemoglobin concentration.
