The whole blood specimens were collected from 20 clinically healthy goat kids (15 females and 5 males). The blood specimens were obtained at 24-48h after birth and 10 ± 2, 28 ± 2, 56 ± 2 and 84 ± 2 days. Hematological variables were determined based on reference laboratory methods. Results showed significant age related changes for most factors (p < 0.05) except for MCHC and the number of monocytes, eosinophils, and band neutrophils. There were significant differences with first sampling time for all parameters (p < 0.01) except for the number of monocytes, eosinophils and band neutrophils. The results of the present study ould be used as reference values for proper interpretation of laboratory results.}, keywords = {Age,blood,goat kids,neonatal period,Sannen goat,small ruminants}, url = {https://ijvst.um.ac.ir/article_30117.html}, eprint = {https://ijvst.um.ac.ir/article_30117_06f6b22a479b5e107c77260d64f15ddf.pdf} }
