In this study, 40 adult Hamdani (Hareki-Harki) sheep aged, 2-4 years old, male and female, were used. The animals divided into two equal groups as male and female, were used. The required blood for haematological analysis were taken from vena jugularis and analysis were made by Blood Cell Counter.

In this in vestigation, the mean of Red Blood Cell (RBC) White Blood Cell (WBC) and blood platelets in female sheep were found to be 13.77x106, 5.55x103 and 3.72x105 respectively. Same values in male sheep were found to be 9.73x106, 4.80x103 and 3.62x105 respectively. Mean values of haemoglobin concentration (Hb) and haematocrit (PVC) in female sheep were determined to be 13.53 g/dl and 41.41 % respectively. But same values in male sheep determined to be 12.12 g/dl and 38.14% respectively. On the other hand, the lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes and eosin ophils were determined as 53.6 %, 39.0 %, 4.6 % and 2.8 % in the female sheep, whereas these values found to be 49.2%, 44.0%, 4.4% and 2.4% in male sheep respectively.

In this study, the values of the erythrocytes sedimentation rate of 1 hour, two hours and twenty four hours in the female sheep were found to be 0.95,1.29 and 11.09 mm, respectively. Same values in male sheep were found to be 0.99, 1.26 and 11.23 mm, respectively.
