Measurement of Body Measurement Characteristics and Vital Parameters in Saanen, Sapera, and Ettawa Crossbred Goats

Vital parameters (respiratory, pulse, rectal temperature, capillary refill time (CRT), rumen movement, and eating time) and body measurement characteristics measurement of Apparently Healthy in 60 healthy Ettawa crossbred goats, Saanen goats, and Sapera goats in Indonesia were evaluated. The correlation between respiratory rate, pulse rate, and rectal temperature was measured. Respiratory rates (breaths per minute) were 59.68±21.29 in Etawa Crossbred, 58.57±14.09 in Saanen, and 60.56±14.99 in Sapera. Pulses (pulsations per minute) were 87.54±19.70 in Ettawa crossbred, 90.46±18.36 in Saanen, and 86.82±13.69 in Sapera. Rectal temperatures (C) were 39.18±0.51in Ettawa Crossbred, 39.14±0.69 in Saanen, and 38.95±0.61 in Sapera. CRT (second) were 1.96±1.64 in Ettawa crossbred, 2.21±1.19 in Saanen, and 2.76±1.75 in Sapera. Rumen Movement (times/5 min) was 5.08±1.73 in Ettawa crossbred, 5.64±1.69 in Saanen, and 4.59±1.91 in Sapera. Eating time (seconds) were 66.62±13.43 in Ettawa crossbred, 55.45±18.38 in Saanen, and 62.34±19.44in Sapera. Height (cm) was 70.62±14.27 in Ettawa crossbred, 60.56±7.55 in Saanen, and 61.72±9.37 in Sapera. Body length (cm) was 62.12±13.36 in Ettawa crossbred, 54.44±9.00 in Saanen, and 54.17±11.98 in Sapera. Chest circumference (cm) was 85.04±18.05 in Ettawa crossbred, 82.12±16.98 in Saanen, and 78.00±16.84 in Sapera. Chest depth (cm) was 30.88 ±5.68 in Ettawa Crossbred, 30.25±5.59 in Saanen, and 27.88 ±6.20 in Sapera. Ear length (cm) was 29.17±5.92 in Ettawa Crossbred, 16.25±1.95 in Saanen, and 20.22 ±3.14 in Sapera. Overall there was were are not correlation (R=0.36) between the rectal temperature and respiratory and rectal temperature with a pulses (R=0.06). This finding result is the first-established of vital parameters and body measurement characteristics measurement in Healthy in Ettawa crossbred goats, Saanen goats, and Sapera goats in Indonesia in Indonesia. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
