The study was carried out on twenty calve suspected while All animals were belonged to the villages scattered in the Qena Governorate Egypt. Blood samples were taken from the external jugular vein, and then centrifuged and stored until analyses. Blood was taken aseptically from all the animals and transported to laboratory for hematological and biochemical analysis. The hematological parameters (Hemoglobin, total erythrocyte count, total leukocyte count, packed cell volume) and biochemical parameters (Total protein, creatinine, calcium, phosphorous, iron, copper, sodium, chloride, AST, ALT) values were statistically analyzed, mean and standard deviations were calculated and set as reference values. The results showed a significant effect of days of life (P<0.05) only on total Rbcs, Wbcs, Hb. Total protein, Calcium, Phosphorus, Chloride, a Copper and GOT during the first week of life and a significant effect of days of life. In conclusion, modifications of studied parameters could be attributed to functional development of calves in neonatal period and contribute to the knowledge of adaptation processes in calf during the first week and the first month of life resulting useful for the diagnosis and treatment of any neonatal diseases. The aim of this work was to follow the changes, during the early growth of calves, of a wide range of blood variables commonly used by veterinarians to aid the diagnosis of disease.
