Surveying Study on the Differences of Some Blood Components between Goats Borne Single and Twin Kids

Aim: this study was carried out to investigate the differences in some blood component between goats borne single and twin kids.

Study Design: The number of 77 Sudanese desert goats breed was used in this study. The goats were divided randomly into two groups. Group I consist of (37 does goats) have borne twin kids more than one time, group II consist of (40 does goats) have borne twin kids more than one time and haven’t twin birth before.

Place and Duration of Study: Sample collection: south Darfur state – Sudan, and sample analysis: department of physiology and biochemistry, Faculty of veterinary science, Nyala -sudan between march 2019 and september 2020.

Methodology: blood samples were collected from goats under surveying study for measuring of hematological parameter (Red blood cells count (RBCs) in 106 cell/µl, packed cell volume (PCV) in %, Total white blood cells (WBCs) in 103 cell/ µl, Differential leucocytes count (DLC) in %), and biochemical parameters (total protein , albumin , cholesterol and calcium levels).

Results: the present study revealed significant (P≤0.05) differences in PCV between goats borne single and twin kids while demonstrate insignificant (P≥0.05) differences in other hematological and biochemical parameters under study.

Conclusion: study found that there was no significant difference in parameters under study except for PCV
