Morphometry of erythrocytes and leukocytes and differential leukocyte count of two breeds of adult turkey (24 birds) were performed with respect to sexual dimorphism. Except nuclear length of erythrocytes, other parameters show highly significant difference at P < 0.01. Leukocytes reflected significant difference at P < 0.01 among and between breeds with respect to their dimensions. In case of DLC, except eosinophils, all leukocytes show significant difference (P < 0.01) among and between breeds. Morphometry of blood cells of two breeds of turkey is within the range mentioned for avian species, but the differential count revealed some abnormalities which might be due to stress or infection.
