Abstract

Raini goat is an Iranian cashmere goat which is raised in large numbers in Kerman province of Iran where goat production contributes significantly to the agricultural economy. Normal hematological indices are valuable aid in the diagnosis of hematological disorders. Determination of the main hematological and hematochemical parameters of animals helps veterinarians to confirm clinical diagnosis, estimate the severity of cases, administer appropriate treatment, and evaluate outcomes. Limited information is available for normal hematological parameters in Raini goats. The purpose of the present study was to determine reference values of hematological indices for clinically healthy Iranian cashmere (Raini) goats in order to establish a basis for clinical interpretation. In the present study, reference values for packed cell volume, hemoglobin, total RBC, total and differential WBC count were determined.
