In this study, acid-base status, some blood gases and plasma electrolytes of venous blood were determined in 20 Angora goats. In the goats, the obtained values of pH (7.376). pO2 (46.75 mmHg), pCo2 (38.50 mmHg), HC03 (22.14 mEq/L), tCO2 (23 58 mEq/L), BE (-2.21 mEq/L) and plasma sodium, potassium and calcium levels (136.8, 4.43, 2.33 mEq/L. respectively) were similar to the values reported for ruminants. Consequently, these data in Angora goats might be useful for the studies will be conducted in the same subject.
