Description
Rayeni goat is an Iranian Cashmere goat which is raised in large numbers in Kerman province of Iran where goat production contributes significantly to the agricultural economy. Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a valuable aid in the diagnosis of neurological disease. Limited information is available for normal CSF parameters in goat and not much is known in Rayeni goats. The purpose of the present study was to establish reference intervals for serum and CSF from clinically healthy adult Iranian Cashmere (Rayeni) goats. In the present study, reference intervals for total nucleated cell count, total protein, glucose, urea nitrogen, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium concentrations of serum and CSF were determined for Rayeni goats to establish reference values.
