Abstract
The present work was carried out at Ura station for improving the mountain Goats at Swidaa, Animal Wealth Research Administration, General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research to determine the normal levels of some biochemical blood parameters in the Jabali female goats during pregnancy to predict any nutrition or health disorders. Forty Jabali goats, similar in age and weight, were used. Monthly blood samples were taken during the pregnancy period, and hematocrit glucose, cholesterol, albumin, total protein, and urea levels were determined. Results indicated that the values of the studied parameters ranged between 20-42% for hematocrit and 35.8 to 96.3 mg/dl for glucose, 31.09 to 99.83 mg/dl for cholesterol, 2.63 to 6.20 g/dl for albumin, 5 to 9.90 g/dl in total protein, and 6.62 to 37.72 mg/dl for urea. Tables containing the means of the studied parameters’ concentrations with advancing age were made, in which any disorder, weather was health or nutrition-related reason could be predicted, consequently conducting the needed treatments
