This experiment was conducted in the animal field of the Department of General Sciences in the College of Basic Education/ Haditha for the period 3/13/2022 to 04/28/2022 and this experiment continued (45 days), the aim of studying the effect of aqueous extract of wheatgrass and aloe vera on some blood traits in local female rabbits. 12 local female rabbits were used in this experiment, with an average weight of (750 g), and it was divided into three groups (in each group 4 rabbits), the control group, the wheatgrass group, 0.2 ml/ Oral dosing, and the olivera group 0.2 ml/ Oral dosing. The results showed that the second and third groups were superior in the number of neutrophilic white blood cells compared to the control group and the superiority of the Olivera group in the number of lymphoid white blood cells compared to the control group, there was an effect of adding aloe vera extract and wheatgrass when compared with the control group in the average red blood cell volume with a significant percentage of (P<0.05), and aloe vera extract had the largest percentage in the rise of MCV, and there was also an effect of adding aloe vera and wheatgrass extract on lowering the rate of hemoglobin concentration Erythrocyte MCHC in a significant percentage (P<0.05), there was a significant effect of (P<0.05) when adding aqueous extract of wheatgrass and aloe vera in cholesterol, with the superiority of aloe vera powder over wheatgrass powder in increasing this percentage, there was an effect of adding aqueous extract of wheatgrass and aloe vera on lowering protein and albumin, where the second and third groups decreased with a significant value of (P < 0.05) when compared with the control group. The results also showed a decrease in the level of glucose and urea for the wheatgrass group compared to the control group. We conclude from the current study that there is an effect of the aqueous extracts used on some blood traits and not on other studied traits.
