ABSTRACT The Balkan donkey (Equus asinus asinus), an endangered breed native to Serbia with significant historical importance, has not been extensively studied in terms of its health and physiology. As their numbers continue to decrease, studying their physiological traits is key to designing effective conservation strategies. This study evaluated the hematological and biochemical profiles of 70 clinically healthy Balkan donkeys, divided into three age groups: Group A (5-7 months), Group B (12-14 months), and Group C (4-7 years). The analysis revealed notable age-related differences (p<0.05) in several key parameters.
