Five non-pregnant healthy Yankasa ewes were deprived of water for 10 d with only one watering period during hot dry weather. On d 5, the mean body weight significantly (P 0.05) and mean plasma globulin, sodium (Na), chloride, urea, creatinine and cholesterol concentrations and urea-to-creatinine and cholesterol-to-glucose ratios were significantly (P 0.05), mean PCV and plasma K, bicarbonate and glucose concentrations and albumin-to-globulin ratio still did not vary significantly. Significant increases (P
