Haematology
Two ml of blood was collected from jugular vein 1 hour before and 5 min
after exercise in Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic acid (EDTA) vacutainer
to estimate various hematological parameters (Hassan et al., 2015) such as hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), total
erythrocyte count (TEC), total leucocyte count (TLC) and platelet
counts. Hematological parameters were analyzed using auto hematology
analyzer (Mindray BC-2800 vet hematology analyzer). Thin blood
smears were prepared and stained with Leishman – Giemsa stain for
examination of blood parasites, changes in blood pictures and
differential leucocytes count.
