[Chemical and hematologic studies of sheep before and after treatment with cyclophosphamide]

Studied was the effect of cyclophosphamide, a typical venena A agent, on 15 sheep and 20 weaned lambs, given orally at 25 mg/kg. A total of 13 types of laboratory investigations were carried out revealing a dependable increase in the calcium and phosphorus levels with young animals, and a dependable decrease in the gamma-2-globulin with adult animals. At the individual application of the preparation the fleece was removed manually on the eleventh day in all animals. At the group application of a granulated formula the fleece in some animals was removed hardly on the 11th-15th day, and with one sheep and 3 weaned lambs shearing was effected mechanically.
