Abstract

The objective of the present study is to find out the haematological parameters of adult captive emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) in three different seasons, i.e., winter, summer and rainy. Hematological parameters like RBC, TLC, Hb, PCV, and erythrocyte indices like, MCV, MCH, and MCHC have been recorded. The mean and significant difference are determined for each hematological parameter. The findings from our study contribute to the database for baseline values of hematological parameters of emu with respect to different seasons. The Hb percentage, RBC counts, and PCV percentage were higher (P<0.01) during the winter season than other two seasons. The average reading of TLC is recorded highest during rainy season and lowest during the winter season (P< 0.05).
