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.
