This study was carried out to determine possible alterations in some haematological and biochemical parameters in Morkaraman sheep naturally infested with Psoroptes ovis. For this purpose 22 sheep infested naturally with P. ovis and 10 clinically healthy sheep (control) were used. Serum total protein and globulin values were found to be high in sheep with Psoroptes ovis compared to control group while serum albumin value was low. Low blood haemoglobin concentration, low blood total Leukocyte (WBC), erythrocyte (RBC), lymphocyte, neutrophyle and monocyte and high eosinophil numbers were detected in sheep infested with Psoroptes ovis compared to control group. The results of this study, therefore, show that Psoroptic mange causes decrease in serum total albumin, increase in protein and globulin concentrations and decrease in total RBC, WBC, neutrophile numbers, increase in eusinophile numbers, decrease in haemoglobin concentration in Morkaraman sheep.
