Abstract:
PE goat is a small ruminant crossed between Etawah goat and bean
goat, which introduced in Manokwari since 2007. Livestock can
well produce depend onenvironment comfortable temperature in
the area of tropical temperature on the day is radiated in high sun
light. If the goat is expose to the blazing sun, it supposed
experiencing heat stress and caused to the physiological and
haematological condition. The aim of this study is to know the
physiological and haematological response of PE goat to heat
stress.This design of research used is Split Plot (RPT). 8 goats will
be a sample which devide in two groups, of unexposed groups and
Groups exposed to sunlight. Each group consists of young males,
young female, adult male, adult female. The variables observed
included physiological aspects (heart rate, rectal temperature,
respiratory rate) and haematological aspects (hemoglobin level,
hematocrit value, erythrocyte count, leukocyte count). The results
showed that interaction between goats and heat stress status did
not influence physiological aspect variable (heart rate, rectal
temperature, respiratory rate), but very significant effect on some
hematological aspect variable such as hemoglobin and
erythrocytes. The status of livestock has a very significant effect
on some physiological aspect variable such as rectal temperature,
respiratory rate) and hematological aspect variable ie hemoglobin,
hematocrit and erythrocytesTreatment of heat stress has a very
significant effect on the physiological aspects of variables such as
heart rate, rectal temperature and respiration whereas on
hematologic aspect variable have significant effect on hemoglobin
level, very significant effect on hematocrit value and erythrocyte
level.
