The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of Cadmium and selenium on blood parameters and the subsequent effect in the tissue of female rat kidney . Female rats were divided into a control group and tow experimental groups treated with Cadmium, and Cadmium +Selenium. A control and tested animals were fed with the same standard chow , but Cadmium chloride, and Cadmium+ Selenium mixture were orally gavaged daily for 28 days .At the end of the experimental period, blood samples were analyzed ,and packed cell volume ( PCV % ) , hemoglobin ( Hb ) , number of total erythrocytes count and total leucocytes count were determined . Blood analyses carried out in the present study showed that cadmium treatment causes different alterations in blood parameters as indicated by significant decrease in erythrocytes •Presented at the first conference on Biology , University of Mosul ,college of Education , 4 5 September 2007
