AB  - AIM: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of season and sex on 
      hemato-biochemical parameters of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) in the arid 
      tropical environment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The experiment was conducted on 
      20-week old turkeys consisting of 20 males and 20 females. Blood was collected 
      from all turkeys during January and May. Hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC), 
      packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular 
      hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were 
      estimated in whole blood and glucose, protein, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio, 
      calcium, phosphorus, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate 
      aminotransferase (AST) in serum. RESULT: Season has significant (p<0.05) effect 
      on Hb concentration, RBC, and PCV in both male and female. Male has significantly 
      higher (p<0.05) Hb concentration, RBC, and PCV. There is no significant effect of 
      sex, and season was observed on MCV, MCH, and MCHC. Glucose, protein, albumin, 
      globulin, and A/G ratio were significantly (p<0.05) affected by season and sex. 
      AST and ALT were significantly (p<0.05) affected by season in both sexes. There 
      is no significant difference was recorded on calcium, phosphorus due to season 
      and sex. CONCLUSION: Under arid tropical environment, turkey hemato-biochemical 
      parameters are influenced by both sex and season.
