The present study assigns the effect of neuroectomy to bone healing of experimentally induce bone fracture in 3rd metacarpal bone ,in donkeys by macroscopic, radiographic and evaluation of mineral levels(ca,p). Sixteen donkeys of male sex with the age 1.5- 2 years, weighting 125-150 kg. were used for this study. These animals were healthy clinically. The donkeys were divided randomly into two groups( non- neuroectomized and neuroectomized) eight donkeys each group. The animals anaesthetized with xylazine Hcl at dose 0.5 mg/kg. B.W., then injectable Ketamine Hcl at the dose 3 mg/kg B.W.which administered intravenously. The animals of non- neuroectomized group, induced one fracture at the mid of the shift of 3rd metacarpal bone. Evaluated with clinical signs macroscopical, estimation of level of mineral and radiographic examination. Gross examination swelling in the site of fracture and lameness. The callus formation shows in radiographic examination.The calcium concentration was highly significant increase after 30th and 60th days , which the phosphorus level increase after 30th days and then s decrease at 60th days
