“…The goat body temperature rises along with the elevated ambient temperature, which secondarily increase the water uptake by the goat (16,17). Under subtropical conditions, the water consumption of goats has been much higher during pre-monsoon than in post-monsoon (18). The enormous drinking of water reduces the feed intake in extreme heat condition in pre-monsoon (19).…”

Being a multipurpose animal goat can produce meat, milk and hide. India has a good number of Black Bengal goat populations, which has an important role in the lives of local goat rearers. The goal of the present study is to find out the effects of changing seasons on some biochemical parameters ofBlack Bengal goat (Capra aegagrushircus) in two different agro-climatic zones in India. The highest mean value of temperature (42.6 ± 1.5 ºC) has been reported during the month of April or May in the season of pre-monsoon in Purulia. However, the lowest value of temperature (8.6 ± 0.9 ºC) has been reported during the month of December or January in the season of post-monsoon again in Purulia. The parameter studied here are blood pH, blood glucose level, concentration of Hb, RBC count, PCV, MCV, MCH and MCHC. Data has analyzed for the effect of seasonal variation among in both the regions and the current findings implies that not only seasonal variation but the regional variation also influence the major biochemical responses of goats.

“…Thermal stress causes the rostral cooling centre of the hypothalamus to stimulate the medial satiety centre, which inhibits the appetite centre, resulting in reduced feed intake (Albright and Allison, 1972). Under subtropical conditions, the water consumption of goats was greater in summer than winter and spring (Hadjipanayioton, 1995). Such nutritional changes influence the composition of blood in goats (Abdelatif et al, 2009).…”

Haematologic parameters play a pivotal role in clinical diagnosis, the evaluation of patient before surgical intervention and in monitoring responses to therapy. The paper reviews haematologic parameters as influenced by exogenous and endogenous factors, including reproductive cycle, sex, age and season, with emphasis on domestic animals reared in the tropics. It is concluded that reproductive cycle, sex, age and season modulate haematologic parameters, and that they should be considered in order to ensure accurate interpretation of the parameters in domestic animals.

“…Tsiplakou et al [ 69 ] compared goats and sheep fed the same diet, same food quantity, and same forage-to-concentrate ratio and found that sheep had significantly longer rumen retention time (RRT) (30.03 h vs. 14.43 h), MRT (40.80 h vs. 27.81 h), and shorter transit time (TT) (8.86 h vs. 11.49 h) compared with goats. Previous studies have also reported that the MRT of undigested residues in the GIT is longer in sheep than in goats [ 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 ]. These findings align with our results, where sheep exhibited a larger GITwps of 83.96 (g/kg BW; Table 2 ; Equation (5)) compared with goats at the same BW.…”

The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) wet pool size (GITwps) refers to the total amount of wet contents in GIT, which in small ruminants can reach up to 19% of their body weight (BW). This study aimed to develop models to comprehensively predict GITwps in small ruminants using a meta-regression approach. A dataset was created based on 21 studies, comprising 750 individual records of sheep and goats. Various predictor variables, including BW, sex, breed, species, intake level, physiological states, stages and types of pregnancy, dry matter intake, and neutral detergent fiber intake (NDFI), were initially analyzed through simple linear regression. Subsequently, the variables were fitted using natural logarithm transformations, considering the random effect of the study and residual error, employing a supervised forward selection procedure. Overall, no significant relationship between GITwps and BW (p = 0.326) was observed for animals fed a milk-based diet. However, a strong negative linear relationship (p < 0.001) was found for animals on a solid diet, with the level of restriction influencing GITwps only at the intercept. Furthermore, the prediction of GITwps was independent of sex and influenced by species in cases where individuals were fed ad libitum. Pregnant females showed a noticeable reduction in GITwps, which was more pronounced in cases of multiple pregnancies, regardless of species (p < 0.01). The composition of the diet was found to be the primary factor affecting the modulation of GITwps, with NDFI able to override the species effect (p < 0.0001). Overall, this study sheds light on the factors influencing GITwps in small ruminants, providing valuable insights into their digestive processes and nutritional requirements.
