This study aimed to establishment database and baseline of hemato-biochemicals values of male and female camels in three governorate south Iraq (Basrah, Dhi qar, and Muthana). Forty eight adult male and female dromedary camels (6 males and 10 females for each governorate) aged over 3 years old were used. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the jugular vein during February – April 2018 and then as soon as transported to the laboratory for haematology ( RBC, Hgb, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, ESR, PLT,and total and differential WBC) and biochemical analysis(ALT, AST, Glucose, Creatinine, Urea, and total protein). The results of haematological and biochemical parameters appeared compatible with the previous studies on normal hemato-biochemical values and found significant effect of sex on some haematological parameters of camel especially for RBCs count, Hgb, PCV, MCV, and PLT, and also among the camels of different governorate in south of Iraq for both sexes regarding to haematological parameters especially in Basrah governorate compared with Dhi qar and Muthana. Whereas, no effect were recorded for sex of camels on total and differential leukocytes in all location studied. Rather than significant differences (p<0.05) showed among the governorates in values of total and differential leukocytes for both sexes compared with their counterparts in the other governorates. The serum biochemical study of camels’ revealed no effect for sex on most of biochemical parameters except in some situation for AST activity level and glucose concentration. In contrast, the results revealed significant variation for both sexes compared with their counterparts in other studied governorates especially in AST, ALT, and glucose values. Therefore, the present study concluded that the results compatible with the previous studies and the sex had effect on some blood indices and the hemato-biochemical parameters different in their value depend on location in south region of Iraq.

The comparison toxico-epidemiological study designed to evaluate the Lead, Nickel and Cadmium levels in healthy sheep of different regions in Al Basrah province and compared with sheep from Animal Farm of Agriculture College /University of Basrah(as control group). Sixty three adult male sheep were tested for the study (6 animals for each region). Blood samples were collected from each ram, the Pb, Ni and Cd values were measured. AST, ALT and creatinine values were also determined. The results revealed to high increase levels of Cd, and Pb concentration among the different regions and compared with control rams values. There were no significant differences in the transaminase enzymes activity and creatinine concentration among the animals tested. In spite of the rise in trace minerals values but it did not threshold to harmful effect on rams' body physiology.
