Goat is the most important source of income for the rural populace. Goat health and production depends upon environmental factors. The present study aims to understand the influence of different altitudes on the morphology, biochemical, and antioxidant parameters changes in goats. The rectal temperature (RT), body length (BL), body height (BH), tail length (TL), horn length (HL), ear length (EL), and head width (HW) were measured as the morpho-physiological parameters. Glucose, total protein, albumin, triglyceride, creatinine, urea, uric acid, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase were analyzed for biochemical parameters. Whereas, FRAP, DPPH, and ABTS were measured as the antioxidant parameters. Results showed that significantly (p and significantly lower HL. All the biochemical parameters were within the range of normal levels, as suggested by a different researcher. After statistical analysis, it has been found that there was no significant variation between the two locations except the glucose level. It has been found that goat off the Indora region; the low altitude area has a significant (p Chamba region, a higher altitude region. However, there were no significant changes in the antioxidant parameters between the two altitudes. From this result, it might be concluded that altitude has effects on goat morphology. There was no altitudinal effect on the biochemical and antioxidant parameters of the goat. |
