Abstract
In this study twenty Boer goats (10 with pneumonia and 10 apparently healthy) were selected from 150
Boer goats that were recently transported from the Upper Egypt to Moshtohor farm. Nasal swabs and
trans-tracheal aspiration were taken for bacteriological examination as well as whole blood and serum
samples were collected for evaluation of pulmonary function tests, hematological and biochemical
alterations in pneumonic Boer goats compared with apparently healthy ones. Bacteriological
examination and PCR of nasal swabs and trans-tracheal aspiration revealed klebsiella pneumoniae. The
results revealed that, significant (P<0.05) decrease in RBCs, Hb and PCV in pneumonic animals than
that of healthy one. The significant (P<0.05) increase in WBCs and neutrophils were detected as well
as significant (P<0.05) decrease in lymphocyte count. Pulmonary function tests revealed significant
(P<0.05) reduction in blood pH and PO2 while there was a significant (P<0.05) increase in PCO2, tCO2
and BE. Serum biochemical revealed significant (P<0.05) increase in globulin, IgG, IgA, AST, ALT,
urea, creatinine, P and K, while total protein, albumin, Fe, Mg, Ca and Cl were significantly decreased.
Pulmonary function tests and hematobiochemical alterations could be used as a diagnostic indicators for
pneumonia in Boer goats.
