Abstract

 Goat is a multipurpose animal and it is capable of producing meat, milk and hide. Nadia has a good number of Black Bengal goat populations, which has a vital role in the lives of local goat rearers in Nadia. The intention of the present study is to find out the effects of altering seasons on blood elements in Black Bengal goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) in Nadia district of West Bengal. The highest mean value of temperature (ºC) has been reported during the month of April and May in the pre-monsoon. The lowest mean value of temperature (ºC) has been reported during the month of December and January in the post-monsoon season. The parameter studied here are concentration of Hb, RBC count, PCV, MCV, MCH and MCHC. Data has been analyzed for the effect of seasonal variation among both the bucks and does. The present findings imply that seasonal variation plays the major role to influence the erythrocytic indices.

Keywords: Black Bengal Goats; Erythrocytes; Pre-Monsoon; Post-Monsoon; Nadia.
