In order to explore health status of the cattle admitted to Korhogo slaughterhouse, haematological and biochemical analyzes of these animals were performed. This study involved 67 cattle. Each cattle whole blood was collected under aseptic condition in two tubes. The first one containing EDTA and the last one anti coagulant free. These blood collections made it possible, assessment of hematological and biochemical parameters respectively. Hematological results revealed a prevalence of anemia about 31.34% in all the cattle. Similarly, females presented higher rates of abnormalities than males one. These abnormalities concerned leukocytes (24% vs. 5.88%), magnesium (20% vs. 11.76%), calcium (98% vs 94.12%) and potassium (76% vs 58.82%). Depending on age, adults too had abnormalities rates higher than young one. These abnormalities were anemia (10.34% vs 2.63%) and serum electrolytes deficiencies such as calcium (100% vs 94.74%), magnesium (20.69% vs 18.42%) and potassium (72.41% vs 71.05%). Overall, these results show that some cattle selected for this study had deficiencies which are not mentioned during inspections by health workers.
