Abstract
The normal blood picture, different blood indices, and electrophoretic mobility of hemoglobin were determined in the Indian camel with one hump ( Camelus dromidarius). The different values were as follows: erythrocytes, 7.24 million/mm3; hematocrit, 27%; size of red cell, 7.7 µ x 4.2 µ; hemoglobin, 13.1 g/100 ml; mean corpuscular volume, 37.9 µ3; mean corpuscular hemoglobin, 17.4 µµg; mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, 47%; red cell sedimentation rate, 1.1 mm/hr; leukocytes, 18,000/mm3; neutrophils, 51%; eosinophils, 6%; basophils, 0.05%; lymphocytes, 40%; and monocytes, 3%. The electrophoretic mobility of camel hemoglobin was less than the mobility of human and monkey hemoglobin and the hemoglobinogram showed only one minor component. In the one-humped Indian camel, the number of red cells was less, the size bigger, and the hematocrit value lower than the values reported for the two-humped camel ( Camelus bactrianus).
