“…The results pertaining to certain hematological indices of goats in this study support recent studies using different goat breeds with different experimental designs. A significant positive correlation obtained between Hb and RBC (r = 0.805) and PCV (r = 0.424) in goats (89); between Hb and HCT (r = 0.57) for beef (90); and between MCV and MCH (r = 0.95) Perumal et al (91) and Karki et al (87) findings reported that RBC was negatively correlated with MCV (r = −0.58) and MCH (r = −0.71) in the kiko goat breed. In contrast, the results of this investigation differ from those of the other studies.…”

A major global barrier to increased animal output is nutrition. The use of aquatic plants, which were previously considered to be waste and needed a lot of labor to eliminate, has recently come to light due to the lack of feed during the dry season in the majority of tropical regions of Africa. The objectives of this study were therefore to see how different dietary Eichhornia crassipise inclusion rates affect the hematological indicators of Ethiopian Doyogena sheep and Woyto-Guji goats. Blood samples were taken from the jugular veins of 12 Doyogena sheep and 12 Woyto-Guji goats in a 2 × 4 randomized crossover design with two animal species, four diets, and four random periods (15 - day adaption period followed by a 7- day experimental diet in each period). The dietary inclusion rates E. crassipise were 0, 25, 50, and 75% that was used as a replacement for commercial concentrate mix diet in the treatment groups. The data was analyzed using the SAS software programme PROC GLM, and Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated between hematological markers. The hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell count (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCHC) results revealed substantial, RDW-SD, and WBC differences between animal species (P < 0.001). Sheep had greater WBC, Hb, RBC, PCV, RDW-SD, and RDW-CV levels, while goats had higher MCH and MCHC values (P < 0.001). For the analyzed hematological measures, the Pearson's correlation coefficient ranged from low to strong in terms of positive and negative associations (P < 0.05). Since all hematological indicators were closer to those of clinically healthy native Ethiopian sheep and goat breeds, feeding water hyacinth to sheep and goats up to a 75% inclusion level in diets without producing sickness may provide a remedy for adverse feed shortages.

“…Moreover, it is fundamental to take into consideration the factors which could influence the hematological profile of a patient. In particular, it is now well known that the hematological parameters in goats undergo changes concerning many factors such as breed [23,29,30], age [22,31], sex [23,32], physiological/reproductive status [33][34][35], season [36][37][38], environmental and management factors [39][40][41], nutrition [42], and diseases [43][44][45][46]. Based on these differences, it is necessary to establish for every breed appropriate physiological reference intervals that could be used to evaluate the physiological or pathological status of the animal.…”

Local livestock breeds are pivotal to ensure sustainable agriculture and represent a real genetic resource in the context of genetic variability reduction. This study aimed at broadening the knowledge about hematological values in female Verzaschese and Camosciata delle Alpi goats (an Italian local and a cosmopolitan goat breed, respectively) and investigating factors affecting them (i.e., breed, age, season). Blood samples were collected monthly from 34 Verzaschese and 37 Camosciata delle Alpi female goats kept under the same semi-extensive farming system for a whole year. The main hematological parameters were evaluated, and descriptive as well as inferential statistical analyses were performed. Reference intervals for complete blood cell count were established and several inter-breed differences were found. In particular, most of the red blood cell parameters were higher in Verzaschese than Camosciata delle Alpi (p < 0.05) suggesting a greater gastrointestinal parasites’ resilience of the local breed. The age effect (p < 0.05) was consistent with the literature while the season effect (p < 0.05) could be explained by the melatonin immunostimulant action and gastrointestinal parasitism influence. Overall, differences in blood values could be attributed to physiological changes and adaptive strategies developed through centuries highlighting the remarkable rusticity and adaptation to the environment and farming system of the local breed.

“…Oxidative stress causes multiple diseases in ruminants (Ayemele et al 2021, Huang et al 2021. Thus recognizing their importance, antioxidant profiles were studied in various conditions such as in pregnancy (Nawito et al 2016), postpartum periods (Tanvi et al 2017, different rearing systems (Karthik et al 2021) and in various season stresses (Kumar et al 2019, Perumal et al 2019. The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of variations of the rearing system, breed and fecundity of indigenous goats of Andaman by estimating the level of antioxidant markers, viz.…”

“…Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI) has mainly two breeds of goat, viz. Andaman local goat (ALG) and Teressa goat, which are reared for meat purpose (Perumal et al 2019). It is a unique island where goats are the primary livestock species and are considered as an insurance source during disaster periods similar to the mainland region (Regar et al 2020).…”

The present study assessed the physiological antioxidant status of goats reared under the humid tropical island ecosystem of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI). From 2019 to 2020, 25 multiparous non-pregnant does with three to six kidding records maintained in the organized farm of Central Island Agricultural Institute (CIARI) and farmer’s field flocks from South Andaman district were selected for the study. Antioxidant markers such as total antioxidant capacity (TAC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), TG (Total glutathione) and catalase (CAT) were analyzed in blood serum with respect to rearing systems, breeds and level of fecundity. Correlation analyses of all dependent variables were performed using Pearson’s correlation. The endogenous antioxidant systems, viz. CAT, TG and SOD was non-significant with respect to rearing systems, breeds and fecundity. Similarly, TAC was non-significant among the breeds and with fecundity; however, semi-intensively managed goats showed significantly higher values than goats under the extensive condition. Correlation analysis showed that CAT was positively correlated with SOD and negatively correlated with TAC. TG showed no correlation with any of the studied antioxidants. Regression analysis of CAT as dependent variable and SOD and TAC as independent variables showed significance. It is concluded that values of antioxidant in the study can be considered as a baseline data for the ALG and other goat breeds of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and other islands or topographies with similar ecosystems for further studies.
