Abstract
Mecheri sheep is one among the five recognized hairy breeds of sheep reared in Tamil Nadu. It has a circumscribed distribution comprising of Salem and Namakkal districts and Bhavani taluk of Erode district in Tamil Nadu. Ramprabhu and Dhanapalan (1998) reported the mean values of various blood biochemical parameters in Nilagiri and Merino Nilagiri crossbred sheep under farm condition. However, no information is available on blood biochemical profiles of Mecheri sheep and hence, an investigation was made to record the blood biochemistry of this breed in its home tract.
