Context: Hemogram and serum biochemistry and its knowledge can be used to assess the health as well as the physiological status of farm animals. Normal hemogram and serum biochemistry are the key factors for soundness of breeding bucks. Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the baseline information on hemogram and biochemical parameters of Black Bengal buck and to compare the recorded values with those reported by other researchers in goat. Materials and Methods: The hemogram of Black Bengal bucks (n=5, eight months old, apparently healthy) was determined by Automated Mythic22 Hematology Analyzer and the biochemical values were determined by using humalyzer-2000. Results: The erythrocyte indices of Black Bengal buck were RBC 10.26±0.68 ×106 /µl, hemoglobin 9.56±0.92 g/dl, PCV 28.83±0.78 %, MCV 27.79±1.08 fl, MCH 9.23±0.27 pg and MCHC 33.13±0.48 g/dl. The leucocyte indices were WBC 12.06±0.56 ×103 /µl; neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, lymphocyte and monocyte were 36.6±0.81, 4.6±0.50, 0.6±0.24, 55.4±1.72 and 2.4±0.51%, respectively. The lipid profile includes total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and LDL which were 67.33±3.38, 44.33±1.45, 40.33±2.08 and 17.66±1.45 mg/dl, respectively. The total serum protein, albumin and globulin were 6.66±0.26, 3.91±0.14 and 2.75±0.36 g/dl, respectively. Glucose level was 70.23±2.71 g/dl. The SGPT and SGOT levels were 11.21±0.37 unit/L and 16.73±0.75 unit/L, respectively. Conclusions: Most of the values were within the normal range described by different authors in goats with a few exceptions and the recorded value of hemato-biochemical parameters indicated the breeding soundness of Black Bengal buck. The present values could be used to evaluate the breeding soundness of Black Bengal buck
