Study on analysis of physical and bio chemical parameters of rumen fluid & blood in digestive disordered Goat

Abstract

The study was carried out by collecting sample of rumen fluid & blood from the Goat at SAQTVH, Chittagong during my internship programme. After collection of rumen fluid from diseased (anorexic, digestive disordered animal) different physiological parameters of rumen fluid (e.g. color, odor, consistency, pH) and motility and number of protozoa are observed and studied in relation with different digestive disorder of goat. So, this study revealed four (4) colors of rumen fluid such as-greenish, greenish brown, milky gray were found respectively 37.5%, 37.5%, 25%. which indicate the normal, alkalosis, acidosis & chronic bloat respectively. Odor was found different types, these were-putrid (37.5%), aromatic (25%), sour (37.5%), pungent (37.5%) indicating the subacute indigestion, normal condition, acid indigestion & in active gastric juice respectively. Consistency was found in following order watery (25%), thick watery (50%), gruel like (25%), foamy respectively. In the same way, pH rumen fluid ranged from 5 to 5.9 (37.5%), 6 to 7 (50%) and remaining above pH7 (87.5%) that indicate acidosis, normal condition & alkaline indigestion of animal respectively. Study of rumen protozoal motility showed that vigorous (25%), moderate (37.5%), mild (12.5%) and absent (25%) were found respectively which indicate that animals in anorexic condition, their protozol motility were mild. Besides, the study helps to know about bio chemical parameters of different type of minerals in rumen fluid & blood of digestive disordered goat
