“…While those are primarily fiber goats, they found slightly different data for lymphocytes (52.63% for male and 57% for female) and monocytes (4.81% for male and 4.02% for female) compared to our dairy goat breed data with lymphocytes ranging from 41.58 to 57.02% and monocytes ranging from 1.42 to 4.23%. Clearly, our numbers for granulocytes differ from those determined by Somvanshi et al (1987). While our numbers are primarily in the single digits or teens, their numbers range between 38.69 and 42.56%.…”

Small ruminants, like goats, would make excellent animal models for not only infectious diseases in large ruminants but also analogous diseases in humans, such as human tuberculosis, Crohn's disease, melioidosis and brucellosis. The main disadvantage for the small ruminant model is the lack of sufficient baseline data on normal, healthy goat kids. Furthermore, most reagents (antibodies and the like) were not developed for goats or sheep. It is important to demonstrate that available resources, especially from the bovine system, cross-react with the caprine and/or ovine system. Finally, potential breed differences have to be evaluated before goat or sheep studies are compared. In this study, leukocyte cell populations were defined in twenty-six dairy goat kids via flow cytometry. We report no significant differences between three breeds of dairy goat kids and demonstrate the effective use of various antibodies for caprine immune cell markers. No breed-specific differences were detected for any leukocyte cell population or for markers specific for various antigen-presenting cells or T cell populations. Interestingly, however, statistical significant differences were found for leukocyte cell populations for the two different time points two weeks apart presented in this study.

“…Haematologieal data are available for many breeds of goats (Wojcik et aL, 1986;Somvanshi et aL, 1987;Bialkowski et al, 1988) but, because of the influence of other factors apart from disease, the data suggest that there are differences with respect to breed, age, locations, season, nutrition, lactation and pregnancy. Interpretation of haematological information for diagnosis is consequently difficult.…”

Erythrocyte counts, haematocrit, haemoglobin concentration, red blood cell indices, total and differential leukocyte counts were determined in 202 cross-bred and 14 indigenous East African goats aged 6-12 months and also in 59 Norwegian dairy goats, of which 24 were 15-45 days old, 8 were 8 months old and 27 were over 3 years and pregnant. These were reared in Tanzania. Comparisons were made with 24 Dwarf and 57 Danish Landrace goats at 6-12 months of age and 76 adult pregnant Danish Landrace goats reared in Denmark. The purpose was to determine reference ranges for cross-bred and indigenous East African goats and to compare these with those of other breeds. The haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, erythrocyte and white blood cells were lowest in the Norwegian kids. The highest values were observed in 6-12-month-old goats in all the breeds, whereafter they decreased to relatively constant adult levels. The mean corpuscular volumes were highest in kids followed by adult pregnant Norwegian and Danish Landrace goats, and lowest in 6-12 months old goats. East African and cross-bred goats had the smallest mean corpuscular volumes. The haemoglobin concentration, erythrocyte and leukocyte counts were highest in indigenous East African, followed by young Norwegian and cross-bred goats. The mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration was highest in the cross-breds, while the mean corpuscular haemoglobin was higher in pregnant than in other goats. The age and breed differences were statistically significant.

“…Herz & Steinhaut (1978) relatam que um estresse térmico de longa duração em bovinos e ovinos provoca uma diminuição no percentual do hematócrito. Segundo Somvanshi et al (1987), em caprinos neonatos (até 30 dias de idade) os valores de hemoglobina e volume globular são ligeiro a moderadamente mais elevados do que nas idades de 6 a 9 meses, 3 a 5 anos e 6 a 10 anos. A contagem total de leucócitos eleva-se a partir do nascimento em razão doaumento do número absoluto de linfócitos e atinge o pico máximo por volta dos 3 a 4 meses.…”

RESUMORealizou-se este experimento na Estação Experimental de Pendência pertencente à EMEPA-PB, localizada no Município de Soledade-PB, com o objetivo de avaliar os parâmetros fisiológicos e hematológicos de caprinos de diferentes grupos genéticos sob as condições do semi-árido. Foram utilizados 30 caprinos machos inteiros, com peso médio de 25,17 kg, sendo seis animais de cada grupo genético: ½ Boer + ½ SRD (BO), ½ Anglo-Nubiana + ½ SRD (AN), ½ Savana + ½ SRD (SA), ½ Kalarari + ½ SRD (KA) e ½ Moxotó + ½ SRD (MO). Verificou-se efeito significativo (P<0,05) de grupos genéticos para a freqüência respiratória e hematócrito. Tendo o BO apresentado freqüência respiratória superior (P<0,05) ao AN e MO; e hematócrito inferior (P<0,05) ao MO. O turno afetou significativamente (P<0,05) a temperatura retal e a freqüência respiratória, com médias superiores à tarde. Para as demais variáveis não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos genéticos estudados. Permitindo concluir que os animais estudados estão bem adaptados ao clima semi-árido.Termos para indexação: Cabras, raça, estresse, clima, adaptabilidade. ABSTRACTThis experiment was realized in Pendencia s experimental station of EMEPA-PB in Soledade-PB city. It aimed to avaliate the fisiological and hematological parameters of caprines from diferent genetic groups in the semi-arid conditions. Thirty males weithing about 25,17 kg were used, being six animals from each genetic group: ½ Boer + ½ SRD (BO), ½ Anglo-Nubiana + ½ SRD (AN), ½ Savana + ½ SRD (SA), ½ Kalarari + ½ SRD (KA) e ½ Moxotó + ½ SRD (MO). It was verified significative effect (P<0,05) among the genetic groups for breathing frequency and hematocrit. The BO presented breathing frequency more elevated (P<0,05) than the AN and MO; and its hematocrit was less elevated (P<0,05) than the MO. The period affects sifgnificatively (P<0,05) the rectal temperature and breathing frequency, being the superior averages in the afternoon period. For the other parameters there were not significative differences among the genetic groups studied. Besides this, it can be concluded that the studied animals are adaptaded to the semi-arid climatic conditions. Index terms: Goats, breed, stress, climatic, adaptability. (Recebido em 18 de maio de 2006 e aprovado em 21 de março de 2007)O conhecimento das variáveis climáticas, sua interação com os animais e as respostas comportamentais, fisiológicas e produtivas são preponderadas na adequação do sistema de produção aos objetivos da atividade. Dessa forma a interação animal-ambiente deve ser considerada, quando se busca maior eficiência na exploração pecuária. As diferentes respostas do animal às peculiaridades de cada região, são determinantes para o sucesso da atividade através da adequação do sistema produtivo às características do ambiente e ao potencial produtivo dos ruminantes (TEIXEIRA, 2000).A temperatura ambiente representa a principal influência climatológica sobre as variáveis fisiológicas, freqüência respiratória e temperatura retal, seguida em ordem de importância pela ...
