Abstract
Aim: Normal electrocardiographic indices taken from clinically healthy Saanen goats are evaluated.

Materials and Methods: Totally 47 clinically healthy Saanen goats were assigned to two comprising groups: male, female (non pregnant), kids and adults. Also, goats were divided into three groups according to their age, including: G1 <1 year, 1 year ≤ G2 <3 years, and G3 ≥3 years.

Results: The heart rate ranged from 71.4 to 187.5 beats/min (118.53±4.73). Sinus arrhythmia was diagnosed in 36.2% of Saanen goats, which was the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia.

Conclusion: It may be stated that some value for the electrocardiographic indices of Saanen goats differ from that of other breeds, and little effect of sex and age on electrocardiographic parameters is reported.
