[Hematologic parameters of Probstheidaer pigmy goats in relation to pregnancy and lactation]

Haematological follow-up checks were performed on 30 female Probstheida breed pigmy goats, 21 of them pregnant. Erythrocyte total, haemoglobin concentration, and haematocrit (packed cell volume) declined in the last third of the gravidity period. The total leucocyte count stayed nearly constant throughout gravidity and clearly increased after parturition, primarily due to increase in neutrophilic granulocytes.
