Abstract
This work was conducted for studying the effect of deficiency of
some trace elements” Cu, S, Fe and Zn”, Mg and vitamin E on ”clinical
signs, haematology and biochemical status” in diseased sheep and goats
compared with the apparently healthy ones.
A total number of 140 animals ”85 sheep, 40 goats, 10 lambs &5
kids” were selected from different areas of Sharkia Governorate, in
addition to the cases which admitted to the clinic of faculty of veterinary

attention to temperature, pulse, respiration rate, ruminal movement, skin
elasticity, wool or hair status, state of appetite, general body condition,

Blood samples were taken from all animals for ~matological
and biochemical studies, also blood smears were taken to confirm the
presence or absence of blood parasite. Skin scrapings to decide the
presence or absence of external parasites were performed from the
animals suffering from alopecia.
Fecal examination was performed, samples from wool and ration
were taken for determination of the level of trace elements and
magnesium.
After clinical, haematological, biochemical examination, III
addition to wool analysis, the examined animals were classified
according to their physiological and pathological conditions into the
following groups:
