PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN RUMINAL FLUID AND BLOOD OF DIGESTIVE DISORDER GOAT

Abstract

The goal of the six-month case study was to determine the physiological and biochemical status of the ruminal fluid and blood of digestive disorder goats. It was conducted at the Shahedul Alam Quadary Teaching Veterinary Hospital (SAQTVH) of CVASU and household of the Jalalabad Housing Society, Khulshi, Chattogram, from April 2023 to October 2023. Collection of ruminal fluid and blood from 15 goats and performed different test of physiological parameter of rumen fluid (eg. Color, odor, consistency, and pH) as well as sedimentation rate, motility and number of protozoa were observed, and biochemical parameter of ruminal fluid and blood (e.g. glucose, chloride, potassium and sodium) and counted in relation with digestive disorders of goat. Based on pH value 15 samples were divided into two groups. The pH of rumen fluid group from pH value <6 and ≥6 to 8. This study revealed ten (10) colors of rumen fluid viz greenish (13.3%), greenish gray (13.3%), greenish-brown (13.3%), olive (13.3%), milky gray (13.3%), dark brown (6.7%), dark greenish (6.7%), gray (6.7%), grayish brown (6.7%), and grayish-yellow (6.7%). The color of Dark greenish, gray, grayish-yellow, grayish brown, and milky gray correspond to acidosis and the remaining color indicated normal condition respectively. Four(4) type of odors were found like aromatic (46.6%) which indicated normal condition and pungent (26.7%), putrid (13.3%), and sour (13.3%) which indicated the acidosis condition. The movement of rumen protozoa were found as vigorous (26.7%), moderate (6.7%), mild (46.7%), and absent (20%) which indicated animals that in acidosis condition, their protozoan motility were mild and absent. The result was significan (p ≤ 0.01). The study result, pH value <6, which was Blood Glucose, Ruminal Glucose and electrolyte (Na, Cl, K) was more than pH value ≥6 to 8. pH value <6: Blood Na, Cl, and K were less than pH value ≥6 to 8. The analysis value of pH value <6 which body temperature, sedimentation rate, and methylene blue reduction were more than pH value ≥6 to 8. The result was significant (p ≤ 0.05) and significant level was 5%. The study also helps to interpret that, pH value have a relation with physiological and biochemical changes of rumen fluid and blood.
