Forty five cattle were included in this study. They were clinically diagnosed as having bovine ephemeral fever (BEF) infection. Blood samples were collected from infected cattle and controls, 20 healthy cattle were included as a control group. Serum was separated and submitted for the determination of hematological values and biochemical values as Calcium, phosphorus, copper, sodium, chloride, iron, potassium, ALP, ALT, AST, total protein, Creatinine, urea. The evaluated hematological parameters showed BEF-infected animals demonstrated a significant decrease (P<0.05) in total Wbcs, Hb. Neutrophils.The evaluated biochemical parameters included to show that BEF-infected animals demonstrated a significant decrease (P<0.05) in serum concentrations of TP, CA, P, Fe, Na, K, while ALP and Cu the significantly increased (P<0.05) and no variation in the values of Na, Cl, K, ALT, AST, creatinine and urea.
