Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate classification of most common anemia etiology in Egyptian horses and its impact on the health, hematological and biochemical parameters of horses. A total number of 165 horses (Thoroughbred, Native and Arabian), their ages ranged between (2 – 20) years were used in this study. The study took place in the duration from March 2016 to May 2017. These horses were divided into 73 healthy horses used as control group and 92 diseased (Anemic) horses belonging to faculty of veterinary medicine clinic, private and administrative farms. GIT parasitic anemic group and blood parasitic anemic group, their results revealed normocytic hypochromic anemia with significant decrease in TP and significant increase in liver enzyms; nutritional deficient anemic group horses, its data showed normocytic normochromic anemia with significant increase in BUN, while envenomed anemic group revealed macrocytic hypochromic anemia, significant increase in liver and kidney function tests. All anemic horses showed hypercupremia, hypozincemia and hypoferremia. So we can conclude that regular hematological and biochemical investigations must be carried out on all horses for exclusion of underlying causes of anemia.
