Abstract

This research was intended to determine clinical signs and morphological features of blood in the adaptation of imported goat breeds in dairy farming to local climatic conditions, and to establish the formation of new farms in Uzbekistan. The analysis of the clinical condition of the goats during the study showed that changes in weather temperature during the seasons also affected their heart rate. The average heart rate of males in the summer was 63.3-63.5 times, respectively, in the spring - 63.3-63.9 times, in the winter and autumn, it was 63.3-63.4 times. Although there were differences in the respiration of the heifers because of the seasons and their age, they remained at the level of the physiological norm. When the body temperature of young females was observed in the winter, spring, summer and autumn, in the summer, the daytime temperature was 0.4-0.7 °C higher than the morning temperature, and in the evening the air temperature decreased again. The body temperature of young females averaged 39.2 °C in groups in summer, 38.8 °C in spring, 38.9 °C in autumn, and 39.0 °C in winter. Clinical cases of young goats were observed during the study.
