Abstract

The objective of the experiment is to study the body condition and haematocrit levels of sheep after large amount of blood taking. Sheep from the livestock farm of the Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture , Chiang Mai University, average weight of 31.14 kg (n=46), were randomed for blood taking in  amount of 150 ml/animal.  Haematocrit levels of sheep were measured after blood taking on day 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 16 and 22. The study was performed in 3 periods; September to October 2002, February to March 2003 and June to July 2003.  The result showed that  blood taking did not affect  daily life of sheep.  Haematocrit levels recovered within 5-8 days after blood taking. However, this condition may vary depend on management and feed condition.
