Abstract
The serum iron concentration and hematological parameters were assessed of lactating and non-lactating Nili-Ravi buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis). A total of four dairy farms were visited in Gujrat district to collect blood samples from the buffaloes and the samples were analyzed for hematological parameters and serum iron concentration. Haemoglobin, white blood cell, red blood cells, lymphocyte, hematocrit and iron concentration were recorded higher in lactating buffaloes, while mean corpuscular volume, corpuscular Hemoglobin, corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentrations and platelets were found least in non lactating buffaloes. Furthermore all the hematological parameters and iron concentration were found significantly (P<0.05) different between lactating and non-lactating buffaloes.
