Diurnal Variation on Some Clinical and Hematological Parameters on Nubian goat

Abstract

This study was carried out at the college of veterinary medicine and animal production. Sudan University of Science and Technology (hillat kuku). The - objective of this study to determine the diurnal variation of clinical and physiological parameters of Nubian goats. Through measurement of rectal temperature (RT),respiration rate (RR), pulse rate(PR) and heart rate (HR), and proximate analysis on some blood constituents. RBCs count hemoglobin concentration (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were carried out following standard procedures. Findings from our study showed that there were no significant differences on (RT), (PR), RBCs count and ESR during different times a day. (RR), (HR), (Hb) concentration and PCV values varied significantly. Key ward : RT= rectal temperature , RR= respiratory rate , PR= pulse rate, HR= heart rate
