Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the hemogram analysis results of neonatal diarrheal calves with and without gastrointestinal protozoa infection.
 Materials and Methods: A total of 21 neonatal calves with diarrhoea were examined within the scope of the study. A total of 21 neonatal calves with diarrhoea were examined within the scope of the study. Eleven of the cases were calves with gastrointestinal protozoa infection and 10 were calves without gastrointestinal protozoa infection. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of calves were evaluated.
 Results: When demographic data and vital signs were evaluated between the two groups, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups (p>0.05). However, when the hemogram values between the two groups were compared, it was determined that there was a significant difference in white blood cell (p=0.003) and neutrophil (p=0.01) numbers.
 Conclusions: Evaluating hemogram parameters should be taken into account as it is an inexpensive and easy-to-apply analysis and offers important outputs in the control and follow-up of neonatal calf health especially in neonatal calf diarrhoea cases which is one of the common diseases.
