Studies On Influence Of Varying Age And Sex On Hematological Indices And Physiological Parameters Of Pateri Goat Breed Of Sindh

Abstract

This study explored the influence of varying age and sex on hematological and physiological parameters of pateri goat breed of Sindh.60 Pateri goat breed of both sexes (male and female) were selected. Group-A (male 3-5 months), group-B (female 3-5 months), group-C (male 6-10 months), group-D (female 6-10 months), group-E (male 11-15 months) and group-F (female 11-15 months).Physiological parameters were determined. Blood samples were collected for determination of packed cell volume (PCV), hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and differential leukocyte count (DLC).The results indicates that pulse rate was recorded higher in group A and lower in group F. Respiratory rate was observed higher in group F and lower in group D. Rectal temperature was noted higher in group D and lower in group A. Hemoglobin count was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. RBC count was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. WBC count was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. MCV count was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. MCHC count was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. MCH count was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. ESR count was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. Granulocytes count was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. Platelets count was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. Lymphocytes count was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. Monocytes count was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. Red cell distribution was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. MPV was determined higher in group F and lower in group A. It is concluded that Physiological observations were fluctuated among the different age and sex of goats while, maximum values of all blood parameters were determined in group F (adult female of 11-15 months age).
