Abstract

Paked cell volume (PCV), total serum protein, sodium (Na), potasium (K), and thyroxine (T4) concentrations were measured in 4 female camels before and after their trucking for a distance of 180 km west of Tripoli. Transportation caused an increase in PCV, total serum protein, and caused no significant effects on Na, K, and T4 concentrations.
