“…Higher concentrations of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and VLDL cholesterol in the blood of older goats were observed compared to group I. A similar trend for blood cholesterol concentrations was determined in Marwari goats from India (Pandey and Sareen, 2007) and in Hair goats from Turkey (Karaşahin et al, 2018). Very few studies are available regarding NEFA concentrations within goats' blood.…”

Haemato-biochemical profile and acid–base status of Croatian spotted goats of different ages

et al. 2019

The aim of the present research was to determine the haemato-biochemical profile and blood acid–base status of Croatian spotted goats in a traditional Mediterranean production system. The 60 non-gravid female Croatian spotted goats of different ages were included in the research. They were divided into four groups of 15 goats according to age: group I – ≤1 year old; group II – 2–3 years; group III – 3–6 years; and group IV – 7–10 years. Haematological parameters were determined in whole blood, biochemical parameters in serum and acid–base status in plasma by automatic analyser. Total leukocyte number (WBC), haemoglobin (HGB) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) in the blood were the highest, while mean haemoglobin concentration in erythrocytes (MCHCs) was the lowest in yearlings compared to other groups. Concentrations of urea, Mg, Cl, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and lactate were the highest in yearlings. Concentrations of Ca, Na, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB) as well as the activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were higher in older goats compared to yearlings, while the opposite was determined for the activities of creatine kinase (CK) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Values of pH, the strong ion difference (SID), anion gap (AG) and z values as well as the content of chemnormalHCOnormal3 and total pressure of carbon dioxide (chemnormalctCOnormal2) were higher in older goats compared to yearlings. The results obtained may help in monitoring the health and nutritional status and improve the management of Croatian spotted goats. Based on the results of the present study, the effect of age needs to be included in the model when preparing the reference values for the haemato-biochemical profile and acid–base status of goats.

“…KIRAN et al (2012) determined a similar trend for blood cholesterol concentration in goats from Pakistan, although without significant differences between different age groups of goats. On the contrary, KARAŞAHIN et al (2018) determined the opposite trend in cholesterol concentrations in female Hair goats in Turkey. In the research by NAZIFI et al (2002) conducted on Iranian male goats, the significant effect of age was determined on the concentrations of triglycerides and VLDLcholesterol in serum, with values being lower in older animals.…”

Blood metabolic profile and acid-base status of Istrian goats - a critically endangered Croatian goat - in relation to age

et al. 2020

The aim of the present research was to determine the blood metabolic profile and acid-base status of Istrian goats in a Mediterranean production system. The research was carried out on 28, non-gravid Istrian goats divided into four groups: group I-≤ 6 month old kids; group II-≤ 2 year old goats; group 3-from 2 to 5 year old goats; group IV->5 year old goats. The goats were grazing on extensive Mediterranean pastures, but when in the stall, they were fed with hay and approximately 0.2 kg corn per day, as well as water and salt. Haematological parameters were determined in whole blood. The concentrations of biochemical parameters and enzyme activities were determined in the blood serum, while indicators of acid-base balance were determined in the blood plasma. The number of erythrocytes and lymphocytes decreased, while segmented neutrophils and eosinophils increased with age in the Istrian goats. Furthermore, concentrations of Fe, albumin/globulin ratio, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, VLDLcholesterol, inorganic phosphate-and the activity of alkaline phosphatase decreased significantly. An increase was determined in concentrations of urea, total proteins and globulins, as well as the activity of aspartate aminotransferase, weak anions and cations based on total protein calculations. The data obtained on the metabolic profile and acid-base status of Istrian goats are useful for understanding this breed's parameters, which will help in monitoring health and nutritional status, as well as for improving the management and conservation of this critically endangered breed.

“…The overall mean tCho, TG, and VLDL Cho ranges calculated in this study are in accordance with physiological ranges reported for clinically healthy nonpregnant goats (tCho: 53.9 ± 1.59 mg/dL), pregnant goats (tCho: 82.08 ± 1.58 mg/dL, TG: 85–100 mg/dL, and VLDL Cho: 17–20 mg/dL), and adult female goats (2–4 years) (tCho: 113.64 ± 23.03 mg/dL) [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 64 , 65 ], and confirm the significant increase of serum tCho, TG, and VLDL Cho concentrations in small ruminants, from the last gestational phase, peaking at 115 and 135 days, compared to the early and mild gestational period [ 19 ]. Likewise, the increased serum tCho, TG, and VLDL Cho concentrations in pregnant goats are in accordance with data observed in small ruminants, in which this increase was attributed to an increased hepatic TG synthesis [ 10 , 19 , 21 , 66 ].…”

This study aimed to determine the thyroid and lipid profiles in 30 Nicastrese goats, along different physiological periods: before mating (nonpregnant goats), during the whole pregnancy (pregnant goats), and during postpartum and early lactation (milking goats). Blood samples were collected monthly from March 2020 to January 2021. Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), total and free triiodothyronine (T3, fT3), and thyroxine (T4, fT4) concentrations were measured using immunoenzymatic assay kits and serum lipid panels (triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (tCho)) by enzymatic colorimetric method; very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL Cho) was calculated. Pregnant and milking goats showed the lower T3 (p < 0.0002) and T4 (p < 0.0005) concentrations, with lower BCS (p < 0.001) only in pregnant ones. Milking goats showed tCho (p < 0.006) concentrations lower than nonpregnant ones, and TG and VLDL Cho (p < 0.001) lower than both pregnant and nonpregnant goats. T4:T3 and T3:fT3 were significantly and positively correlated in both pregnancy and lactation. Under similar environmental, nutrition, and management conditions, different physiological phases play a significant role in the thyroid and lipid profiles in Nicastrese goats. These endocrine and metabolic resources could contribute to the knowledge useful for the salvage of this endangered, local, native breed.
