The haematological and biochemical parameters of 140 apparently healthy goats consisting of 70 adults (35 male and 35 female; 37 buck kids and 33 doe kids) comprised of 3 indigenous and popular breeds of goats of Nothern Nigeria were studied. Data were analysed for the effect of breed, sex and season. Packed cell volume (PCV) was significantly higher (P<0.05) for Kano brown (buck and doe kid) of the north west. Haemoglobin (Hb) values was also higher (P<0.05) for Kano brown adult buck and doe (P<0.05). Red blood cell count (RBC) was significantly higher (P<0.05) for Borno white adult buck and buck kid. The mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) was higher in Kano brown doe (27.3) while the values were much higher in Sokoto red goat kids. The mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) was significantly higher (P<0.05) for goat kids than in adult goats. The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) was observed to higher for Kano brown buck and buck kid than other breeds of goats. Borno white doe and doe-kid had the highest white blood cell count (WBC). White blood cell differentials shows that lymphocytes was significantly higher (P<0.05) for Borno white goats (adult and kids). Monocytes was only observed in Borno white goats. The serum sodium range from (136.0 to 156.0 mmol/l) for adult goats of all breeds, (132.0 to 160.0 mmol/l) for goat kids of all breeds. Serum potassium range from (6.5 to 9.4 mmol/l) for adult goats, (4.8 to 12.3 mmol/l) for goat kids. The chloride, HCO and urea values was higher for adult goats than in kids for all the breeds. Values for creatinine, cholesterol and glucose was observed to be higher for kids than in adult goats. The values for total protein, albumin and globulin showed significant difference (P<0.05) among breeds age and sex. Moreso significant difference (P<0.05) was observed for the enzymes studied in all the breeds of goats of different sexes and ages.
