Abstract:
The mean value of rectal temperature for Barbari, Jamnapari, Sirohi, Osmanabadi &Local breeds of goat were 100.96 ± 0.139, 101.40 ± 0.192, 101.03 ± 0.091,101.14 ± 0.105, & 101.02 ± 0.235°F respectively. Analysis of variance revealed non-significant effect of rectal temperature between breed were observed. The correlation coefficient revealed rectal temperature to positively significant and correlated with respiration rate in all breed except Sirohi (-0.101) where as it was observed non-significant and in negative direction. Rectal temperature was non-significant co-relate with pulse rate in positive direction in Barbari (0.356), Osmanabadi (0.168) & in negative direction in Sirohi (-0.694) breed of goat. The correlation coefficient revealed rectal temperature to significant correlated with IHTC in Barbari (-0.995), Jamnapari (-1.002) and Local (-1.001)/ whereasnon significant correlated in Sirohi (0.153) and Osmanabadi (-0.121) in negative direction, highly negative significant correlation was observed between rectal temperature and IHTC except for Osmanabadi and Sirohi where it was negative but non-significant. Thus the rectal temperature of different breed appeared to be stable characteristic which did not change with breed.
