Biochemical and Mineral Profile of South Eastern Algerian Desert Goats (Capra hircus)
Authors
Abstract:
An experiment was conducted in Algerian desert goats to study the effect of age and season on blood biochemical and mineral profile during different physiological stages of the goats. Serum Ca, Mg and Na levels were significantly high at birth and decreases as the age advanced. The season had a significant effect on the decreased levels of Ca, Mg and K and inversely on the increased levels of Na during dry season. The Ca (80.02±4.84 mg/L), Mg (22.14±1.61 mg/L), Na (142±1.73 mEq/L) and K (6.43±0.40 mEq/L) in pregnant goats were significantly higher than in non-pregnant and lactating goats.

The study was aimed at evaluating the frequency of spontaneous sister chromatid exchange in Polish White Improved goats (Capra hircus). The mean number of SCEs/cell was 2.73 +/- 1.84. The effect of sex and age on SCE incidence was also investigated. No statistically significant differences in the number of SCEs/cell were observed between the males and females. On the other hand, age was found t...

The aim of this study is to determine the morphology of the vomeronasal organ in Angora goats (Capra hircus). The heads of eight adult Angora goats (Capra hircus) obtained from the slaughterhouse were used as materials. Six heads with vomeronasal organ were examined by macro and micro dissections, the others were removed from the longitudinal ridge of mucosa in the ventral portion of the nasal ...

Our objective was to identify the primary site of the reduced adrenal function in South African Angora goats (Capra aegagrus) that causes a decrease in cortisol production and leads to severe losses of Angora goats during cold spells. Angora goats, Boer goats (Capra hircus), and Merino sheep (Ovis aries) were assigned to three intravenous treatments: 1) insulin, 2) corticotropin-releasing facto...
