Abstract |
This
experiment was conducted
to examine the effects of
cupping
on the
haematological parameters of lamb blood. Ten male
Mehreban lambs weighing 23.4±3.24 kg were assigned to two treatments:
control and cupping based experimental group. Wet cupping was performed
in several steps of sucking, scarification, secondary sucking,
bloodletting and removal.
Venal blood sampling was
obtained one week after wet cupping and
samples were tested for haematological parameters.
No significant differences were observed between
control and cupping groups in mentioned parameters. Cupping has not any
negative effect on haematological parameters of sheep and can be tried
in the treatment of some diseases in sheep as is used in human.
