The relationship between EPG levels and haematological and biochemical parameters were studied. A negative correlation between EPG and Hb values; and positive correlation between EPG and TLC was observed in both the species: however, the increase in TLC values was observed only above 1200 EPG. The eosinophil count initially declined followed by a gradual increase in both the species. The influence of EPG value on the total protien showed a gradual decline from 6.82+/-0.182 g/dl at 400-800 EPG level to 4.06+/-0.04 g/dl at 3200-3600 EPG level in goat and and from 6.60+/-0.02 g/dl at 400-800 EPG to 4.34+/-0.052 g/dl at 2000-2400 EPG in shedp. Similarly decline in glucose level appeared to be negatively correlated. These observations suggest that egg count in sheep and goats may be helpful, in prognosis, as the increase in EPG values are responsible for crictical changes in some of the important blood profiles.
