Abstract
The study entitled, “Physiological, Biochemical and Hormonal Profiles of
Surti Goats during Summer and Winter Season under Intensive Production System” was
conducted on eight adult apparently healthy Surti goats with the objective to determine
the seasonal variations in different physiological responses, biochemical constituents,
hormonal profiles and antioxidant status. The meteorological variables like temperature
and relative humidity were recorded for calculation of THI on daily basis at 7.30 a.m. &
2.30 p.m. during experimental period. Meteorological data for last 10 years from year
2004 to 2014 collected from the observatory for estimation of THI. All Physiological
parameters such as rectal temperature, respiration rate, pulse rate, and skin temperature
measured daily at 7.30 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. throughout the study period. Blood samples
were collected from the Surti goats at weekly interval during experimental period for
various biochemical analyses
