AB  - Hematological and biochemical profiles commonly are required in equine medicine. 
      We studied hematological parameters including red blood cells (RBC), white blood 
      cells (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (PCV), differential leukocyte counts, 
      mean cell volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular 
      hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in thoroughbred foals at different ages and for 
      both sexes. Sixty healthy thoroughbred foals, 1 day, 3 days and 1 year old were 
      used. Each age group consisted of 10 male and 10 female animals. We found 
      significant differences related to age in RBC values of females, PCV, MCV values 
      of males, WBC, neutrophil percentages, lymphocyte percentages, monocyte 
      percentages of females, and eosinophil percentages and basophil percentages. 
      Significant differences related to gender were found only with regard to PCV at 1 
      year and WBC at 1 day. The hematological parameters of thoroughbred foals up to 
      one year old may be useful for evaluating and monitoring the health of these 
      animals.
