Abstract

The study was achieved on 16 local Arabian horses and 16 local donkeys. The aim of the study was to compare of some blood and synovial fluid biomarkers of local Arabian horses and donkeys. Blood analyses were done to measure PCV, Hb, WBC counts, and RBC counts. Synovial fluid analysis was done to estimate some physical and biochemical markers, total protein, glucose, alkaline phosphatase, urea, creatinine, creatinine kinase, cholesterol, uric acid. The differences of the mean± SE of PCV and Hb values were non-significant at P≤0.05. Whereas the variances of the mean± SE of WBC counts and RBC counts were significant. The physical markers of the synovial fluid samples were clear for both horses and donkeys nevertheless the volume was greater and more viscous for horses with straw color though it was pale amber for donkeys. The inconsistencies of the mean± SE of total protein, and uric acid were not significant at P≤ 0.05. But the variances of the mean± SE of glucose, alkaline phosphatase, urea, creatinine, creatinine kinase, and cholesterol were significant.
