				Hematobiochemical profile in Surti goats during post-partum

				Abstract 
 
				
				
				Aim: 
				
				The study was undertaken to find out the changes in 
				hematobiochemical profile in post-partum Surti goats. 
				
				
				Materials and Methods: 
				
				The present study was conducted on 40 Surti goats out of which 
				20 goats who had undergone recent parturition acted as treatment 
				group and 20 non-pregnant animals comprised control group. Blood 
				samples were collected from the treatment group on 0, 7, 14, 21, 
				30, and 45 days post kidding and once from the control group. 
				Blood samples were analyzed for hematological parameters such as 
				hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), total erythrocyte 
				count (TEC), total leukocyte count (TLC), differential leukocyte 
				count, and biochemical metabolites such as total protein (TP), 
				albumin, globulin, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), 
				non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), glucose, and urea. 
				
				
				Results: 
				
				Hb level was the highest on the 45th day and lowest on the day 
				of parturition. Significantly low level of Hb, PCV, and 
				lymphocyte was found on 0 day and significantly high level was 
				found on the 45th day. TEC was also low on the 0 day and high on 
				the 45th day post kidding, but the difference was 
				non-significant. Mid-sized cells and granulocyte percentage 
				decreased significantly from 0 to 45th day post-partum. TP, 
				albumin, and urea were found to be lowest on 0 day and highest 
				on 45th day post-partum. Urea concentration increased parallel 
				to TP indicating an increase in urea production with catabolism 
				of protein. The globulin concentration also increased from 0 to 
				45th day post-partum, but the difference was non-significant. TC, 
				TG, and NEFA were the highest on 0 day and lowest on the 45th 
				day post-partum. Decrease in TC and TG from 0 to 45th day 
				post-partum indicates that the animals utilized the lipids for 
				the supply of energy for milk production. High level of NEFA 
				acts as an indicator of negative energy status but in the 
				present study, the high glucose level on 0 day 
				
				indicates that the animals were in positive energy status. The 
				glucose concentration decreased up to 14th day post-partum and 
				then started increasing from 21st day onward. 
				
				
				Conclusion: 
				
				Hematobiochemical parameters are indicative of health status of 
				animals. Significantly low values of Hb, PCV, and TLC during 
				first 2 weeks post-partum are indicative of stress. Catabolism 
				of protein occurred during 2 weeks post-partum, as observed from 
				increase in urea concentration. Decrease TGs and high level of 
				NEFA during the transition period are suggestive of utilization 
				of lipids for the supply of energy. High glucose level on 0 day 
				indicates that the animals were in positive energy status.
