Full blood counts, fibrinogen estimations and red cell osmotic fragility tests were carried out on a number of clinically normal captive mouflon (Ovis musimon) from various locations. Age related differences in red and white cell counts and sex related differences in red cell counts were demonstrated. There was also evidence for seasonal changes in red cell values in adult females. During this study, some mouflon were found to be deficient in vitamin E and were transferred to a vitamin E supplemented diet. Comparison of findings on vitamin E deficient and supplemented animals revealed no significant haematological differences.
