The Chemical Composition of the Blood of the Dairy Goat

ABSTRACT

Data were presented on the range and average composition of certain constituents of the whole blood and plasma of dairy goats. A comparison of the arterial and venous blood of lactating and non-lactating animals was made.

For purposes of comparison, a tabulation of comparative data on the composition of the blood of other species was presented. No significant differences in the goat plasma were noted in comparison with other mammals. It will be seen that the cell volume of the goat is unusually low probably due to the small size of the red blood corpuscle.
