The present study was aimed to assess and determine the effects of pregnancy on some biochemical and haematological parameters. This experiment was conducted using 16 pregnant of known gestational period and 4 non-pregnant does raised at commercial farm. Results revealed a non-significant differences between pregnant and non-pregnant does for all studied traits. With the advances of pregnancy, it was noticed an increase (P<0.05) in PCV, Hb, AST, ALT, Glucose and Cholesterol and a decrease in total protein and globulin. In conclusion, it can be indicated that physiological status impacts the traits under consideration.
