Abstract
Neutrophil and lymphocyte ratio (N/L) can be used as a chronic stress indicator inanimal. Increase of N/L ratio indicates stress in animal that marked by neutrophilia and lymphopenia. The study was aimed to determine the comparison of N/L ratio in Sapera an Ettawah crossbreed goats.The samples of this study were obtained from 126 Sapera goats and 99 Ettawah cross breed goats with various physiological condition status (rams, pregnant ewes, nanny goats, ewes, young rams, young ewes, and lactating goats)that are clinically healthy from farm in Seyegan, Sleman, and its surrounding. Blood samples were taken through jugular vein in the morning, the blood smear were made to calculate leukogram. The average calculation results of N/L ratio in Sapera goat group is 0.55±0.,57and Ettawah crossbreed goat group is 0.47±0.44.The results of the statistical analysis using the One-Way Analysis of Variance test showed an insignifi cant difference in the N/L ratio (p > 0.05) between groups of Sapera and Ettawah crossbreed goats. It can be concluded there was no significant influence of the breed and physiological status difference in Sapera and Ettawah crossbreed goat's blood N/L ratio.
