Abstract

The normal erythrogram of 28 donkeys Equus asinus of both sex of the Italian and Brazilian breeds were analised. It was impossible to detect racial and sexual influences on the values of the different proofs. The donkeys erythrogram presents proper characteristics when compared to the equino literature. As a different specie than that equine and presenting inferior numbers of erytrocytes, hemoglobin rate and haematocrites, the authors suggest special care in the blood diseases of donkeys, particularly at the equine infectious anemia.
