Popis: | Aim of this study was to investigate the effects of lactation, pregnancy and dry period on electrocar-diographic (ECG) parameters and cardiac arrhythmias in the Saanen goat. A total of twenty female adult clinically healthy Saanen goats 3 years of age with a body condition score of 3.5 and average weight of 30.2±2.20 kg were randomly selected. The whole duration of the study (8 months) was divided into four periods including dry and non-pregnant (P1), 2 months pregnant (P2), 4 months pregnant (P3), and lactating (P4) periods. In late pregnancy and lactation periods, the amplitudes of P, QRS and T waves were significantly higher compared to other periods (P |
