Physiological variations between female West African dwarf Goat and Sheep

Haematological, Serum Biochemistry profile and Oxidative stress indicators of female West African Dwarf Goat and Sheep respectively were investigated. Sixteen apparently healthy each of ewes and does of the West African breed were selected from a flock and housed separately under a semi- intensive system. Fastened blood samples were collected from their jugular vein to obtain specie variations in some haematological, serum biochemistry and oxidative stress indicators. Blood was collected to EDTA and plain bottles for haematology and serum biochemistry respectively using standard procedures. Data were subjected to T-test. The RBC, MCH, MCHC, Monocytes and Eosinophils showed significant differences (P
