Abstract

Twenty Iranian crossbred male goats were studied to determine their cellular and biochemical parameters of peritoneal fluid and blood. The number of WBCs and RBCs in peritoneal fluid was lower than that in blood. The percentage of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes and eosinophils in peritoneal fluid was similar to that of blood. Concentration of protein and calcium and the activities of creatine kinase (CK), amylase and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in serum were higher (P<0.05) than in peritoneal fluid. On the other hand, concentration of chloride in peritoneal fluid was higher (P<0.05) than in serum. Concentration of all other constituents were similar to those of serum.
