*3.4. Hematological Parameters*

The complete red blood cell (RBC) hemograms of each infected animal identified clinical signs of haemonchosis such as anemia after D23 (Table 5). The RBC count, level of hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) were not significantly influenced by treatment or the interaction between treatment and time (*p* = 0.05). Time significantly affected all RBC parameters (*p* < 0.001). Total leukocytes, neutrophils, and lymphocytes were not significantly influenced by treatment, time, or the interaction between them (*p* = 0.05, Table 6). Treatment and time significantly affected the counts of monocytes (*p* = 0.05) and basophils (*p* = 0.05 and *p* = 0.01, respectively), and time significantly affected the counts of eosinophils (*p* < 0.001).
